    lol thaks for that hydrojeff, whats your address and I will post it over ;-)

    It's not rimless as far as I know, it has the top glass supports on the left and right and the middle support for the top glass too.

    Tank was free from a mate :)

    Here is a nicer pic of my tank, I am really liking the island on the right hand side now :)

    Hi Kingterra,

    My overflow is dead silent. The key is to put a ball valve on the overflow line just before the sump and turn the flow down a little. If I have mine fully open it makes a loud gurgle, but when I turn it to around 75% it is quiet as a mouse.

    I also got some more liverock today so when I am done building it up I will post some more pics.

    Cheers,
    Dean

    Great job dude. However, Adrian Monk would have you redo the piping underneath the DT. It is a little crooked......;)
