    Hey All,

    Some of you may have seen my tank over in some other threads but I thought I would start one that I can just post regular updates to.

    I built my stand from scratch and I was really happy with how it turned out



    Cheers,
    Dean

    I also decided to build a 2ft sump so I could keep my display tank looking clean.

    It was built from a 2ft long tank from PetBarn ($46AU) and some Baffles from OBrian Glass (4 for $40AU).

    My Skimmer and 2200L/Hour return pump work great together and I have miracle mud and green stuff (forgot what it was called...lol) in the middle section.

    I built a DIY PVC overflow to feed my sump and it all works great, but in hindsight I would get the tank drilled at my LFS as it was only a couple of bucks :-( Next tank :-D

    Went hunting around the 3 LFS that are respectable and picked out the live rock that I though suited what I wanted to do the best. After a fair bit of changing I think I have finally got the look I want.

    I still need some small pieces to fill in behind the left "tower" but thats about it.

    All up there is around 20KG of live rock there.
