I cant wait to see this up and running. What corals are you planning? That depth will make it look so crazy with anything in there.

Thanks jphong, I have 2 tanks now full of corals so I will transfer those here when the tank is ready. I will have a variety of zoas, LPS and being so shallow I think SPS will go crazy with the light and flow in this tank.

Thanks Chris,

I was at the acrylic store today and picked up some acrylic dowel for posting the LR and had the one sump cut so I can build it. I have the table saw and acrylic cutting blade for it but sometimes it is easier to just get the guy to cut it right there.

Pictures to come.

I thought for a minute you was colour coding your iPad with your sump!

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Default Update

Just a quick update. I picked up the 2 hamilton 150w pendants and I also grabbed a couple Par38 LED lights. Cant wait to see how these look.
