    Starting my fuge build nothing crazy. It's going to go next to my sump. The tank is custome 9 1/2" x 20" length deep can't remember but should be close to a ten gallon tank. Also had it drilled to a 3/4 bulk head. For my dsb I'll be using live sand about ten pounds, also adding some cheato that I have in my sump. Let me know what you guys think.

    Very simple and elegant, I think that would go very well with traditional Eastern decor.

    Decided to do a water leak test. Didn't want to set everythin up just to find out I have a leak. Also picked some LS, it's 10lb.

    Got around to finish my install on the fuge. I was thinking of re homing my clown fish in my fuge for a month. Do you guys think they will be ok? But here is the finish install pictures.
