    Now that the main display tank is ticking along in maintenance mode... a new project begins:


    I purchased a CAD Light, 39 gallon Professional tank. You can read about it here: CAD Lights, "Thinking outside the cube"

    In short, it is a 20" Tall nano, with a center overflow to a sump with the 150 watt MH/T5x2/Moon light combination light.

    Aqua-C 180 skimmer with Mag 5 pump
    Coral Life 9w UV lamp set:
    Ozone:
    1/15 hp JBJ Chiller:


    With dad's help, here's the start of the cabinet:

    It started off as 3/4" Oak Plywood... Someone went "happy" with the nail gun...there must be a hundred nails to set, patch, and sand...
