Hi, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster.
I would like to share with you guys my tank build that I started around July of 2011. I'm going to slowly update this thread till it catches up with my most updated thread on another local forums. Some of it will be copy and paste so I do apologize if its a little out of context.
Hope you guys enjoy the process!
Thank you!

It’s been slow gathering equipment and doing what I can before filling up the tank. I do have the rockwork done. I’m using around 40 pounds of macro rock I got at SUM. I love the uniform look of the rock and I used epoxy putty and lotsa super glue to stick them together.
Here is what I came up with; I’m still in the process of strategically clipping off pieces here and there for a cleaner look. I made a faux tank with cardboard to do the rockwork outside the tank
For the mean time I got a small 10gallon reef tank that I set up since January this year. It is a DIY AIO system made with acrylic.
