Ivgonmad, lookin good. Where'd you get the sump from? Also I'm assuming from the photo that the far, right side will be the fuge? I'm interested to see how you design and install the plubing. What size and temp are the reeflux bulbs. What reflectors? Also will this be FOWLR or mixed reef?

 

[ivgonmad]

It will be a mixed reef, mostly LPS, Clams (hopefully the sharks doesn't eat them), softies, and some hardy sps corals.

I will have my fuge on the right like you said

The bulb combination is 2x 250w 10k + 2x 250w 20K, all of them on Coralvue electronic ballasts.

There is two custom 38" long pendants that hold two MH bulbs each (these will hang from the roof)

Is the big guy with the yellow dot behind his eye a Mata Tang? I have always admired those tangs.
