Are you going to put down styrofoam under the tank ? I would also think about ventilation above the tank as well.

True i will be using a sheet of pvc under that tank, its waterproof and fees like it will add some padding. For vents all will be in the sump. Thats why i made that ac vent to stick some pc fans to suck the outside air in. Figure if i keep sump cool tank will be to. Its work for me in the past, since i keep my ac temp cool throughout the day and more so night. Idk if you can see the whole that in the bottom, that's were i will place them. Also Today my cabinet maker is coming to measure the doors. They will be stainless steel. Here is a new pic of it after sanding. Im trying to paint today. Lets pray i have time

Ok so i have reached a problem, im doing a herbie OF and im debating what size pump to use. All 3 of my drain holes are 1in. I read that its recommended about 300-350 gph*for the return. So thats about so i was thinking about a mag 5. Does this sound about right. Or open to suggestions*

Looks great! I can't wait to see the finished product.

Can you provide some pictures of the trim close up? I'm doing an in-wall build myself and I'll be using a regular rimmed tank. So I've been racking my brain for ways to have the tank look nice and flush against the wall.

Hey X, i will send a picture of it as soon as i get home tonight. Its not you conventional Trim its more of an invention that the wife came up with. But you can buy it at home dep
 
I did , i went with a mag 7 for the return and a MP10W ES for main. hoping that it will be enough flwo for this tank seeing as its about 33 x Turnover.
 
SOrry i havent posted any new pics, but figured who the h*ll wants to see a tank with no fish or corals just rocks lol.j/k. well here is a pic of the aquascape, i still have to paint trim and some touch ups here and there . Waiting on the dang doors... Tomorrow im testing water and adding first fish. Nothing crazy just want him to poop a little bit lol. I might even swing by my buddys and pick up some sps frags, hoping they make it. I got a question to you Bubble Magus Peeps, how high do u have the water level on this thing. I have my BM nac 5.5 at 8in, is that good or should i lower or raise it? ill have some pics fo the fish and corals tomorrow promise.. :0
