That's one sexy looking tank.

Thank you. Here is what sits below, constructed by Chris Benner, a magnificent piece of woodwork

These two have never met, soon to be united

Looking forward to this build!
What are your plans on the sump?

Black Pearl · Apr 10, 2016

Sump? We are getting ahead of ourselves but....

Just out of curiosity why 2 overflow boxes? I'm assuming they are 16" if so why not 1 20"

Awesome tank! The stand is gorgeous too. Best of luck with the build!

Reef Savvy only does 18 inch Ghost Overflows, two sounded good to me. its almost coast to coast and i still wanted the teeth

Two real beauties there. Definitely following this one. The overflows are 18" with three 1' bulkheads in the rear box, right? 2,000 gph?? I believed they changed up the size of the overflow when they redesigned it. My 125 will only have the one overflow.

Thanks kschweer, I'm pretty excited about it

Yes Felix went from 1.5" bulk heads to 1" I was originally suppose to have gotten the 1.5" ones. My tank was ordered Feb of '15

Thanks Rev, Scubafrog
Tank arrived today, raining, driveway wet and steep, had to push the crate up the hill with my truck. Yeah made me a little uncomfortable, but all is well
