Thanks Jeremy.

Oh you paint the display.. I thought you paint the fuge ;D .. I'm wondering if you paint the sides white or something shinny, would it help reflecting the light?
 
wow dude, awesome dimensions, i think if i were to upgrade, hopefully in the next 6-7 months, im gonna steal them =)

also, who built the tank?
 
LOL, Phong. I was thinking about painting the fuge too.
Thanks, Sam
Charles, WMS built it. The build quality could be better, but he was about 600 dollars less then Gen.
 
Well, I am going low turnover to the sump. My options right now are either 700gph or 500gph total to both tanks (this and the frag tank). So I plan on either 400gph or 300gph to this tank. Norm thinks I'll be fine with the smaller pump. I'm not sure what I want to use. Low turnover = better skimming.

[/quote]I concur, less turnover is better, do you plan on using a submersible pump? If so what kind?
 
Thanks, jrock.
Jeremy, I'm going to use your favorite pump. Quiteone 3000 or 4000. I have 2 of each (one back up of each). One is going to run the chiller the other will run both tanks.
 
So are you going to put a PH in a fuge or something? That thing is big 300-400GPH is not for that tank. Algae does need flow too.
 
Phong not sure about that yet. Maybe a small one. Going to have sea horses in there and I know they don't like too much flow.
 
Damm man, here we go.

Thanks to Arnold, Eric, Jeff (and Jeff's GF who watched haha) and David.

I'll probably be adding a bit more rock once things settle down a bit. I have tons and tons more room in this tank. The fish are already liking their new home a lot.
