it is a 75G - 30 X 24 X 24, 1/2" glass, I supplied the glass and a LFS assembled it (with the exception of the overflow). It will be for softies as I am changing my 180 over to all LPS and SPS and clams. I built the stand and canopy, and it has 1 250W MH with 2 40W Actinics.

Very nice :exclaim:

It's gonna be hard to stare at both tanks at the same time tho :biggrin:

Very cool tank! :biggrin: How much did the tank cost after supplies and labour if you don't mind? Will it run on its own system or share the sump from the 180?

Qiunster the tank looks really good. keep us posted on the setup. Hope to get into the city realy soon to come see your tanks.

danny zubot - yes they will share the same system...although there has been some frowning by people when I say that, I am going to give it a try...the tank was relativly in expensive, the back, bottom and overflow are made of my mom's old kitchen table :biggrin: and the sides are reclaimed (used) glass with the front being the only new piece...figured I will never see through the rest anyway so...the ballasts were spares I had laying around, as well as the pump. The total for the tank, glass cut, drilled and assembled, minus the overflow which I installed myself, was approx. $200.
