Ok here they are. The stand has not yet been skinned. I'm still trying to figure out how to skin it and have a viewable refugium. There will also be a hood built to cover the lights.

From looking through your pics it appears that you have your sump for the most part "soft" plumbed with flex? You could (assuming there is enough space height wise) lift the sump/fuge up(with layers of plywood), pull it forward, flush to the front of the stand and then "picture frame" it with a removable front panel?

Blue cloves from Wicked Frags. Grows extremely fast and a beautiful blue color. Easy to take care of, as in no special care.

Here's pictures of the additions to the tank this week. I also got a Monti.porites from Coral Master but couldn't get a good picture of it.

Bright Yellow Rimmed Turbinariarenifor from Coral Master


Herbie the Sea Urchin to help with algae outbreaks


Hitchhiker found on glass. Could it be a Sea Cockroach?
