nice work! too bad you've crossed the threshold into sponsorville. well rules are rules right?

I feel I have to comment on the stand though. Is it really very sturdy? it just seems a bit flimsy to me.

edit: lol I have the same anniversary dremel kit as you (first pic)

Are you sunning a skimmer on this tank? Or just Live rock and Cheato?

I have a deep sand bed in the sump and room for a skimmer, I have not bought the skimmer for this setup yet. I am actually looking at the small Bubble Magus skimmer as the ratings are pretty decent considering the price.

Right now the tank gets about a 30% water change a week just from bagging frags.

I wasn't sure about the stand either until I put it together, the thing is actually really strong! The bottome of the legs actualy have screw out levelers built into them. The stand is actually very sturdy because of the water and sand volume in the sump on the bottom shelf.

In regards to the dremel, I love the dremel but the aniversary case sucks!

Ya I was worried about the stand too! It looks as if it's bending under the weight of the tank...or is the photo playing tricks? That would awfully bad for the tank!

I actually saw that in the picture when I posted it and had to check for myself, it is definetly a camera trick, the stand is not bending at all. The stand is actually solid steel. the shelves are all actually straight when measured with my level.

Thanks for the heads up though!
