    I have just finished plumbing up the 220 I got the other weekend. I must say its freakin huge. It makes my 75 look like a 10g...lol. Filling it up right now with the good old r/o water. Most likely will need to replace cartridges when I'm done:( I have a 60g sump that I received for free. It use to be a old display fish tank. I used a external pump on this setup. Im trying to save some room. I made a holder for the socks with some acrylic that I had around. I plan on having one space for the huge and the other for the skimmer. Get it up and running for about 3 months and move everything over slowly. The other pic is the 75 I have running. Thanks

    Very nice setup. I hope one day the wife will let me setup my 1000gal dream tank with a 250gal sump/fuge. But for now I'll just have to wait. :(

    Keep us updated as you go. Want to see the final setup

    Here are some pics of my sun coral, bubble coral, and my condy. These were taken with the blue light off so they would come out.

    The 220 is acrylic I belive made by ATM. I bought it used. The 75 is just a All-glass.

    Thanks
