Sorry for the load of pics right off the bat~! ALSO PICS ARE TAKEN BY CELL PHONE sorry.

Ok so idk if anyone know I had a 2yr old 37g tank crack and dump all over my living room...not fun lost a decent amount of corals but all fish survived. I had already started my build of the new system so it was just a kick in the but to get it done.

The system display is a 6ft 125 custom captian walter over flow sick over flow might i add then to the basement tanks splits to a 20l frag tank a 29 fuge for the frag tank then to another 29g fuge then to a 110 live rock tank then finally to a 60 sump with my 5 ft modded skimmer. The display has a reeflo closed loop with 4 returns NO POWER HEADS!!!!!! and corals are loving it.

Ill just post random pics of the build and of the way the tank looks now. its been up for just at one month with corals in it. All of the live rock came from my 2yr old tank and a large tank that was 15 years old so this rock is loaded!

My 37g that cracked!

Thanks alot guys I caint belive I finally have this up and 100% running. Its been a month and i already have noticeable growth with my sps and my lps are loving life. My fish are so active! Love it.
 
Aww, come on, you can't leave out the blood infection and the water change station!!

Glad it all came together and everything looks great.
 
Hah yeah i lost alot of blood when that tank cracked. Im going to post pics just mixing 120g of water right now so their are powerhead cords everywhere. Ill post them later in week.

Also thanks to walter for the help. amazing work amazing guy.

And thanks to stephen and The OC hes been amazing help and alot of corals from the oc! And equipment.
 
Very nice! I like the look with the 2 islands.
Nice toadstool!
There won't be much room in the tank once those corals take off.

Keep us posted.

Yeah that toad stool is sweet u cant even see the whole stalk in that pic, u know how big it is its a beast. Yeah the corals will fill up fast but thats fine i have a rimless bedroom tank i can put.frags in and i have the frag tanks downstairs.

Thanks guys
 
Thanks alot guys. I had a aqua fuge layin around figured i would have some use for it seeing i have a decent ammount of mangroves. Yeah im loving my t5s great colors.
 
very nice everything.
a few questions:
*How long has the Heniochus been with those corals and does it pick on anything?
*Is the inside of your light hood protected from moisture?
*What kind of skimmer is that?
