Well glad to say the sump arrived today and I also got my tank repaired today as well with new glass. Thans to reefcanada for building me a kick ass sump , thus thing is massive and designed with a large fuge and fragtank. Fragtank and fuge will be visible from the front of the stand through acrylic:)

Next step is to hunt down some plumbing and bulkheads and gather up some things like sand, salt

I have a phosban reactor I'm gonna buy in mind and I'm also buying a ro/di, apex controller, mp40, 2 chamber media reactor just after Christmas:)

it's going to be a few weeks before I can do a freshwater fill because if the repair so tomorrow I'm gonna start the outside of the stand , nothing to fancy just drywall and nice trim.the idea of short shelf/step right around the bottom to view in through the top and do maintanance came up abd I'm thinking I may go for it :)

light ring will be here shortly abd I can mount the 4 metal halide pendants and order some led's

Still alot of work left to do and I don't expect to see anything in there living untill spring sometime so I have lots of time to work out bugs:):):):)

########. PICS TOMORROW OF SUMP AND TANK. #######

Yes indeed your light ring is coming, if I am lucky I can built it next week and bring it up to you next weekend. Have been stupid busy the last month working 7 days a week and up to 18 hrs a day :wacko: ,have even had a couple 36 hr days:faint:

Keep you posted, look forward to seeing the finish set-up.

full tank pics and sump shots:):)

Dam that is one sweet sump!! Now the pressure is on that lazy ass who is building your light ring to get his act together and get it done :redface:

Looks really cool... but WAAAAAAAY too much for me.

thanks, the fuge and fragtank take up a good chunk and will have their own drain and i have the room for 2 return pumps and lots of room for my skimmer plus reactor section:):)

its made so it holds 8" of water and the section with the fuge and frag tank will be just about filled and viewable from the window in the stand.im going to use leds to light them up. i think i am going to add some shelfs to the fragtank to keep them higher and insight without having to look in and down:):)
