    The new sump looks great. I can't wait to see it set up and see what you do with it.

    Looks graet!
    2 questions:
    1. If you have access to the rear, why do you have doors on the front?
    2. Nice rockscape, but shouldn't you have about 100 more lbs?

    The tank is a Marineland deep dimensions tank that is 48 wide x 29 tall x 36 inches deep. You can not reach the front of the tank from the back because of the depth. Side access from the back is limited as well due to walls in the fish room. The cabinets in the front also give it a more finished look. My old tank just had a frame around it and it was very plain.

    As for the rock work, I was going for a clean more open look. Right now there is about 125 pounds in the tank and another 25 in the sump. Water parameters are doing well so I don't have any plans to add any more. If I needed to it would be in the sump.

    The new sump is installed I will add pictures ASAP. Thank for checking it out!

    Just checking to see some pics of the new sump installed. Got any eye candy for us? Agreed that your setup is pretty awesome. I have a 90g and want to upgrade to a 200 deep dimension on my next upgrade. It won't be for a while though. :)
