I don't know if you guys remembered this, but this past March my 150 LeeMar display tank sprung a small leak so I panicked and had to take down my tank to set up a temporary tank. I went into a little detail with this thread: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?78210-LF-WTB-Leemar-Eurobraced-150g-tank-48L-x-30W-x-24H&highlight=
This was when it was in it's hay-day: http://www.socalireefs.com/forums/showthread.php?28776-Tank-upgrade-(pics-and-vids)&highlight=
I finally was able to get my re-fabricated setup that I picked up from Wally up and running with the help of some great guys...(Mike [MENTION=11392]thegrun[/MENTION], Daniel [MENTION=207]NVTE[/MENTION], and Frank [MENTION=7085]Xion[/MENTION]) Thank you so much guys. Mike was so helpful with this build. He made my coast-to-coast overflow, help with my stand, and reinforced my sump. Daniel and Frank joined in on move day to make it a smooth transition.
