Got it done last week. 145g from BVA viewable from both sides with the two large panes being Starfire. Now just need to start stocking.

Had drilled for 3-2" and 5-1" bulkheads. Using a Dart with a OM 4way for the CL (2" intake to 4-1" outlets) then a March 6 series (have since replaced with Iwaki MD70RLT) to return water from the 75g basement sump through a 1", sump being fed by the other 2-2".

Lights are 2-250W PFO pendants with 14k Hamilton bulbs supplementing with 2-40W fluorescents.

Few thing still need some tuning and planning a some changes already.

Still can't figure out how to embed photos into post but here's some:

Wowzer Mark! You do that all by yourself?

So the sump is run to the basement?

Thanks guys.

It took a while, planning was being done before the basement was even dug, but happy with how it turned out.

Sump is in the basement with the tank return bulkhead about a 12 foot horizontal run to the pump.

Pillars were made by the builder but he got the material from Windsor Plywood (and that's where I got material for hood).
