Abe's tank build
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.
this the main frame.
  
first coat of stain.
and this is today with the sump in
Drain and protein skimmer area
Refuge area
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.
