That is a sexy blk acrylic sump...you are gonna like those for bad boys 52s...what kind of controller are you planning to use? The AI Director ui is a very cool and friendly device. I have it for my 52s.

for the tank controller i am getting an apex jr, which i usually control the lights with.
i haven't looked into the ai director for the light controller, but based off your suggestion i will look into it and if i feel i need it i will probably get it.
thanks for the suggestion

here is a pic with the wall finished. the wall paint is more beige in real life, i think the iPhone messed up the color.
but you get the idea.
2maro i am blacking out the side walls so you can't see thru them.

 

[BeanMachine]

Looks real nice.

 

[ndrwater]

I like it. I think blacking out the sides is a good idea.

 

[cymaster007]

Looks good- fill it up!!
