well finally I got some time to do a tank build :) I bought this tank back in September it's a 230G measured at 72"x24"x30"H and it has been sitting in my garage since then waiting for the stand to be built. Well I finished most of it right now, just need doors and some design pieces. I also bought a sump and it is placed in my stand as of today :). here are few pictures, hope that you like them.

Just not sure of what kind of skimmer or return pump to purchase, I am not looking for a very expanssive one, my budget is around $700 for the skimmer.any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
