    Good Evening Everyone,

    Many of you have helped me out by answering questions so I thought I would post a couple pictures of my tank. The wall is still a work in progress and hope to finish that in the next week or so.. So the tank has been running for about 2 days.

    Here are some stats-

    120 All Glass In Wall Aquarium
    Proclear 200 with Refigum
    1200 Mag Drive pump
    100lbs of cured rock
    80 lbs of sand
    PVC Plumbing
    Bermuda BPS-C3 Skimmer

    I guess now I sit and wait...... and wait..... and wait..... :(

    Very nice I noticed it’s not drilled that’s the same way I set up mine I look forward to watching your tank grow.

    Thanks! I was going to go with a Fluval FX5 at first which is why I did not have it drilled. Then after thinking about it, I decided to go the sump/Refigum route. So in hind sight I wish I had it drilled but the overflow seems to be working fine.

    Very nice. I like all the pics.. I'm hoping I can keep tangs in this tank. I tried to keep small ones in my old tank and they always got ick.. :-( Are yours still doing well?
