That setup is just awesome, it looks like you have the best of everything in the fish world, mixed reef, setup for frags, setup for frogfish and eel. Wow!

That is one impressive tank. I can't believe the size of the clam in the lower tank! Did you document the original setup at all? I would love to see how you put it together.
I believe TOTM is an understatement!

Thanks for all the great comments, I don't have too many pictures of the tanks process but I'll post what I have.
First off this tank was an upgrade from my previous 50 gallon LPS  It started off with just the top tank and all equipment underneath.   One thing I really wanted to do with the new tank is keep the look clean but still have plenty of access. For the canopy I decided the best thing to do was have it mounted on rails so it could just slide open for access.   For the stand both sides hinged open while the front side was held on by magnets, this eliminated the need for doors and provided much more access.  At the time there was a refugium located at the front of the stand with the skimmer and sump at the rear.    As you can see things were pretty tight and when it came time for upgrades obviously I needed some extra room. At one point I decided to make the refugium viewable as a second tank  This was always somewhat planed, I've always liked the idea of the second tank, even with my previous setup  That's all for now, I'll be back later.

The tank has a closed loop for most of the circulation, 1 input and 4 outputs are located at the bottom of the tank. At the time I was using a Quiet One 6000 with an OM super squirt.
 I've since upgraded to using a Reeflo Dart pump for the closed loop and have ditched the OM, I've considered the 4 way but with the problems I've had with the previous model I don't think the device is quite up to par. Here's another shot of the tank after being setup for a few weeks  At the time I also had a fish only tank, and thought I would try my moorish idol in the new reef, this however did not last long as the idol had a good appetite for corals.  As the tank grew older
