    I like these little braceless tanks, nice start even though I would have sumped it ;)

    Do TMC (the aquaray people) sell equipment in the States? they do a good ATU over here which is very reasonably priced

    I'm def following this one! Your stocking list is almost identical to what I would love mine to be, although I can't afford the black ice clowns so I'm stuck with the regular black and white. As for evap I have an avast marine ATO which has worked really well for me. And I think it looks pretty stylish as far as ato's go

    Well I got home and the tank was still a little cloudy. Surface had a bunch of build up. So... I bought a nano overflow. Should be here in a few days. Gonna use a 10g sump I had made a while back that a friend is giving back.

    Nice that will make controlling your top offs easier as well.

    This is what im working with now. Still cloudy, fuji pink sand is pretty fine stuff. Took this picture when the lights were simulating the sunset, so it's a bit bluer than normal...

    Nice! It will look awesome once you get some coral in there.

    Here is a shot of under my stand. The metal rack wouldn't hold a 10g and I couldn't remove it bc it helps with stability. So I made a support stand for under it, doesn't look the best but will do the job.
