Nanoreefbro's 233 gal Leemar Starphire Tank!!!

[Nanoreefbro]

Well I bit the bullet and decided to upgrade from my 150 gal. My fish were getting bigger and there were some things I wasn't completely happy with my last tank so this time around I wanted to correct those issues. I've had this tank for awhile now but with going to school, working, and trying to find someone to build a sump, and stand. I just didn't have the time until now. The tank I got this time is:

Leemar 72" x 30" x 25" Starphire front and right side
4" Eurobracing on top with no center braces
Diamond Edge, Black Silicone, Black back, black bottom
Calfo Overflow with 3 1 1/2" holes for BeanAnimal Overflow design
2 1" holes in back corners of tank

Here are some pics of the tank once I got it home.

I bought about 6 boxes of the Tukani/Pukani live rock. It's really light and easy to work with.

It's been curing in my garage for about 6 weeks now...

Sweet!

Dude that tank is awesome! I love the Calfo overflow, it seems to make much more sense than having two big boxes going from top to bottom and allows more room for 'scaping. Congrats. :top:

Well I needed a sump for my upcoming upgrade and John Hoang from Advance Acrylics stepped up to the plate. You guys know John so he needs no introduction from me. Not only did he meet my expectations but he far exceeded them!!! The sump was so clean and nice that I debated on using it as a sump and making it into a tank. Anyways here are some pics of my sump

I spoke with John about having access to cleaning out my filter sock holder so he created a removable/adjustable filter sock holder.
