    Hi members! Although this is my first post I have been lurking around this forum for several months soaking in all the awesome info that this site provides! I have always wanted to get into saltwater but I never imagined how extensive the hobby is!!! I am posting a few picks of my efforts so far. I am taking my time and trying to get everything right so I am successful. Again thanks for all the help. I am starting with a 125 gallon DT and a 55 gallon sump/fuge. I made my own DIY LED light with parts from Rapid LED. I am currently filling my DT with RO/DI water to test all my systems.

    More pics of my setup

    Here are a few more pics of my set up. I have become very proficient with acrylics and PVC! LOL. These pics are of my DIY sock holder and my DIY Bean Animal overflow system. I thought it would be really hard to drill my tank but it actually wasn't bad at all!

    Thanks but the planning is still far from being over! I still have to figure out what I am going to put in the tank!
