Tagging along, I love to see a well done DIY project. And I think gimp is right, you're going to need snorkling gear to do the aquascaping.

Thank you
well I did go in the tank to spread out the sand in the tank, and I may have to go back in there for the aquascape lol
let me tel you it's FUN... I mean... I'm swimming in my tank!!! (but don't worry I won't do that a lot... it's not good for the water/fishes)

now on the update
like a told you, the tank is now full of water, and the sump is starting to fill
the plumbing is not completly finish, but the tank/sump is ready to work
I put about 150 lbs of liverock in the tank, I amuse myself by doing a little aquascape but it won't stay that way, we are waiting for more live rock next week
here's some picture

I don't dare ask how much a tank like this must cost to build and setup but have you done any estimations on how much this tank will cost to run, including electricity, salt, additives, chemicals, etc... That's the main factor that keeps me with a small to medium tank. I can afford to spend a lot on a tank and equipment, but I'm a contractor. In this economy, I don't want to be stuck with a $250-500 a month, maintenance cost. The last thing I want to do is have to dump my tank because I can't afford the monthly maintenance cost.

Incredible, there's nothing in it other than some rock and it's already one of my favourite tanks ever! I can't wait to see this progress over the next few weeks
