Im moving in monday morning and we don't have a fish tank!!! my wife isn't happy at all with the empty wall in the middle of the house…
The Chandelier is done, will mount it next week once all the dust as settled in… we are moping the floor every day and we still get new dust by the afternoon.

The chandelier looks amazing, and huge!
Good choice on the 60" sump. I'd go with an internal pump, many good ones to choose from.

Mario, that chandelier is AWESOME!!!!
Can't wait for the tank to get in but I'm not near as excited as I'm sure you are!

THX.. it took 6 months of labor to polish all antlers. Each one got sandblasted then 9 different sand papers, the amazing thins is that no detail was lost on the antlers, all the cracks and crevices are still there even after all the polishing.
Yeah, I decided last minute to go with the 60" sump, and happy I did"¦ Im gonna go with an internal pump on the sump at the beginning.
Have the Coralvue Diablo DC 10500 on mind with 2,775gph"¦I have always done a low flow sump on all my reef tanks and got very good results, so a single sump set up will be the way to go, now since I want it to be as efficient as possible the new DC pumps are the way to go"¦

Beautiful....
Im curious why the cutouts on either side of the tank. It doesn't appear by the pics that the tank comes close to filling it in...yet it looks like they were built to fit around the tank...

I want to have access from the front to clean out the algae on the side panels with my magnet, since its 36" deep and 36" tall its impossible to do it from the back of the tank"¦

That sump is impressive, and the rock formations look great!
Get some water in that thing already

here is a teaser pic!!! Transfered about 200g of saltwater from my office 240g cube, had to take it down to move into a temporary office
will post next update pictures once its full and up and running with the sump connected, hopefully this weekend it is!!!
Once the sump test is done I will get the drywall installed on the lower and upper portion of the wall and will get the stainless steel frame done also

Some picture updates of what happened this weekend, got the tank completely full, filled up the sump and connected it to the system and started the skimmer.
Got several questions for you guys hope you can help me decide.
First the full tank shots
The backstage
Got from my LFS a Diablo DC return pump, 2 Jebao WP60s and miscellaneous stuff. I haven't installed the Jebao pumps, Ive always runned ultra low flow set ups with good success and love to use sugar size sand, my last reef tank a 240g cube was very successful with just a mag 9 return pump on seaswirls. I don't know if this is a fair comparison but my previous 240g tank worked great on a 1,200 gph pump, which is about 5 turnover rate, now if I just keep only use the Diablo DC pump on my 400g tank which is rated at 2,775 gph I would have a 6.9 turnover rate.
I still got the wp60s in the box, Im just afraid of sandstorms, don't want to dial it down all the way.
I will not be doing SPS and if I ever decide to do, they would be on top right next to the seaswirls.

I had to take it down because the office will get a 100% overhaul done and the contractor will start from scratch, it is a 40 year old building with ugly cosmetics, poor insulation (hot and cold weather) and ventilation.
The office is located inside a newly built commercial area that will have its grand opening around may this year and my office was just to ugly and needed to be completely remodeled
