    Here is my soon to be 75g reef tank. I built a custom metal stand. And ordered a sea clear systems 2 acrylic tank and turn the wet dry system in the rear into a sump for cheto with led lights and a hob octopus 2000 skimmer, and some chemi pure elite droped in the direct flow of the pump. Thiers 60 pounds of live direct oodolite sand and 70 pounds of bulk reef supply dried live rock. ( which I curred myself). The most beautiful rock I seen imo. I'm trying out the new deep blue solar flare led lighting. Haven't heard a lot about them but I must say they are a better and brighter color than the exotica panoramas that I have on my nano. Trying to build this as cheap as possible with out skipping on quality. I'm about 1800 into it so far. Any way here's some pics ill post new ones as it comes along. View attachment 53551

    sounds like a nice tank but the pictures arent working for me. It says to notify an administrator. Steve, can you help with that?

    Might be my computer then, it probably need shutdown or something.

    That is an interesting stand, and the rock looks good.

    now what would be really cool is if the stand hid the pipe that runs the pluming for the tank.

    Thanks everyone. Ya I built the stand myself. And thanks for posting the pics I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. There is no pipe or plumbing is has a built in sump in the rear of the tank. One wire in the back down to a plug in and that's it. All other wires are tied up behind the tank ran to a multipal out let.
