I am using a regular Dart on the sump and a Super Dart for the closed loop. LOTS of flow, I will not need any powerheads!

Actually, with "Great Wall of China" I meant a mountain of stacked rocks and not enough spots to place corals.
A foam wall with shelves should have more places to put corals and it will look very cool once it grows in.

You certainly achieved a "Great Wall of China" look. You need some funky twists & turns out in the middle!

Ok, I understand that nobody wants to reply to the ugly pictures, let's try this
It's clearing but I don't like the big rock, that looked very cool outside of the tank. It comes too close to the front glass
Canopy on, big rock gone and more clear
Solaris should be in by this weekend, right now I got 3 Current Powerbrite LED's in there, the shimmer they provide is incredible!
So, should I keep 'em both?

Thank you!
No, I have not had a Solaris before, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is not a lemon......and that I am able to keep it and get rid of my chiller...Time will tell....

Two of my friends have them and have the most amazing tanks I have seen.
The way I justified it: No chiller, lower electric bill, no bulb changes, should pay for itself in 2 years. That is, providing it performs as advertised......

Awesome... just awesome, Andrea.
Damn, I'm gonna have to start spending some time over in this forum now.
It looks great!
It must have been some long, hard work though.... it looks like you've lost so much weight that you're nothing but skin and bones by those last pics.

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing. Looks very good.
I personally think you should keep both tanks.
What knid of cure time do you have with this? I mean do you have to wait a couple of weeks or something for the chemicals to evaporate from the foam before putting in the tank?
Thanks

Spleify, the foam dries pretty quick. After I applied the epoxy, I waited about a week to make sure it was cured properly.
Keith, the pictures don't do it justice, it looks much better in person, come by anytime to check it out.
As a matter of fact, I was looking at that chalice tonight, and I thought " it must be fragged soon".......hang on to some PPE's for me......just in case
