Galantra's 300 & 150 cube build

[Galantra]

Ok I am happy to finally join this forum! even though I had a 180 & 210 a couple of months ago. Now i get to share my experience with my fellow reefers and get some help on making these two builds great. SO here we go
I was originally was going to go with AO tank. but with some persuasion from the lady of the house i went with Marineland Deep edition Starphire tanks. I orginally just wanted one tank and ended up with two since i really wanted a cube.( also i have seen alot of Marineland 300 tanks on here hope you guys chime in to give me some input)

So far here are my ideas of how i want to set up these tanks:

150 Cube 36x36x27 I purchase a stand with this one but not so fond of the stand so wanna adjust the stand alittle
Bought 2 Vortechs so far and was going to have the overflows as drain only but i would like to show all four sides of the tank

300 72x36x27 I am building a stand wanted to do a metal frame but about 39inches high. I need to find out where i can get one built around here though. Also i was unsure if i wanted to do a close loop or just grab some tunze 6100's i will need some help since i am going to have this running out of a 180gallon tank that i am going to use a sump

I will try and see how i can get a diaphragm and photos to explain better

I am very interested in the ZEOVIT systems and if anyone could help me understand it more i would really appreciate it.

Any idea would be great thanks for looking and can't wait to make new friends

I'm excited to see your tank build, but if you try to put in a diaphragm and take pictures, they may ban you for life.....

Jar*Head i am checking it out just scary how many products there seen your thread are you using special sand?

 

[Jar*Head]

Nothing special about my sand. Just different brand.... But they are very very clean and nice color... I got the sand from Premium Aquatic...

Progress Report: So far i been building a stand for the 300g the stand is 39inches high which should really give a nice height look. I am looking to do all hanging lighting for bothe tanks and this is where i am stuck at I know i am doing 10 t5's with additional Leds on the 300g. On the 150 i am going to use 1 MH with a lumen bright mini and add 4 39w ts,s but how to make it hanging and looking right any ideas anyone?

If anyone can help me add photos i would appreciate it
