Ya...let's see some pics and progress. :)
I'm not planning on setting up for another 6 months. I still have a cabinet to be built for it. Much like this design but to be viewed from both sides:

The baby is great...he's such a good little guy and already sleeps through the night! Lucky me. :)

Ya...it is a bit diffrent. I did some brain storming with Kamil and he suggested the Calfo along with Herbie standpipes and hole placement (pretty much designed it himself ;) ). I was talking with a friend of mine and he pointed out that I didn't even need to put the overflow in the tank and it could be hid by the stand for a nice clean look inside. That's why I made it clear...so it could be checked easily. Thanks Randy, Kamil and Gonzalo for helping with the design!

No, I have a brother in law in Jersey who has his own cabinetry business and has been doing it for about 20 years. I thought he could whip up a sweet stand for me for a decent price.

I'm planning on it to be!!! :D

Boy that is really nice.. Any ideas for livestock?? Such as fish, corals? Or FOWLR??

I'm not sure yet..I think I'm going to go with the "garden variety" of corals. I like the euphyllids, wellsophyllias, and plating montis. I plan to use two 250w MHs with two T5s....not a whole lot of light but definately plenty to keep whatever I decide. As for fish...I keep looking at schools of lyretail anthias. Maybe I'll get one sunburst/fathead instead. Some chromis, bangaii cardinal, powder blue tang, pair of ocellaris and a candy hogfish or sixline wrasse. The wrasse gets a bad rep though. I haven't really made a list in stone yet. I have plenty of time to plan. :)

Picked up my sump today. It's a 75g 36"x24"x20" with a 25g refugium 22"x16"x17". I've got the return Y-ed off, one going into the bubble trap and the other into the refugium.

I'll be setting it up here in a couple of months....probably in May. The sump is a monster because I hated trying to cram all my equipment into my other sump....used to get my hands all dinged up on the equipment and LR. With this monster...I have plenty of room!!!! :cool:

Thread says you'll have pics posted today...looking foward to them!
