Thanks, It turned out better than I thought, As I was just trying to go cheap due to funds but I like It as Is.
Stand, Canopy, And all trim for around 100.00 bucks, You can't beat that for a budget... Low Budget...

Thanks for the Vote of approval on my cheapo stand!:hmm4: I think It Is the White color that makes It work, Never seen one white before In any fashion.
Gives the whole thing a old time furniture feel. Anyhoo Thanks Mike

the low profile open top look is great. is the water calm enough for top down viewing?

As i keep SPS I have lots of flow, But If I lower the returns deeper In the water and point all powerheads down you can see pretty good. But for the best viewing I just pull the plugs on all the pumps and you can see real good.
If I had a decent camera I would take some top down shots, But I don't so that will have to wait.
And Thanks I really like the low open top tank, I think If someone did one on a scale like your tank It would be great looking, So get out the glass cutter! Just kidding, LOL

Rhett, Thanks
More Snow, Just what I wanted, Where Is Global warming when you really need It....:lol2::wavehand:
 
Wow, Broke the 1,000 views mark, Thanks to all that looked at this build thread and I hope It helped to show people how It can be done without spending a fortune. Although I already had the Coral the total build cost was right around 1,500.00 and I'm pleased with the results and have a system that I put over 15,000.00 In to compare It to.
Thanks to all...

Thanks Zef, You can come by anytime you like and I also want to get up and see yours In person too. It's pretty simple compared to the big one but I like It a lot. KISS Keep It simple stupid Is how I based my decisions on equipment and everything else. But the SPS put In on day 3 are thriving so far so good.
Thanks everybody

Correct, It was Ocea Aquariums In Alabama. They are Sold locally through LFS now and are no longer avaiable to the general public. I must say I am happy with the quality of my tank, FYI.
You can look online but I think they took their website down, There are also other vendors that can get them for you also but they are not RC sponsers.
I think It's great that the thread has gotten so much attention and I Thank all that have viewed and commented on the build.
Thank you all...
Bill
PS, Any and all comments are welcome too as they can only help to make It even better!
 
Alright I actually got a couple new pieces so here's some new shots of my Acan and Some of my Nuc greens via a big circle, Thanks Leah LOL. Will also add my BRS dual reactor this weekend to top off water polishing...







 
I forgot to mention the Frags are from Lighthouse Corals, A local Vendor we all know. You just never know what you can get for a badly needed bucket of salt LOL

Your too kind Rick! I'll try and borrow a Camera that will take some decent pictures ASAP.
As far as updates go Yes i added a MP40 and I'm loving it, Also started running Eco-Bak by Warner Marine (With great results) and got rid of any Phosguard/GFO and all the rest of those products that eat your money up. I also added a rimless matching Frag tank to the system as the corals are growing very quickly, And i will have some nice frags avaiable soon.
I have been busy moving my 185 into it's new home and it's almost all done, The last of the coral will be gone this eve. The Rock will be gone tomorrow and then the tank will go in the garage until picked up. Longest tank move in history 8 months LOL.
Bill:)
 
Bill,

Put me down for some frags when you they are ready. Every person I have ever talked with says your frags are primo. Zef always gets a far away look in his eye when he talks about your metallic blue stag! Good to hear all is comming along well!

Brat I got something for you to a blue ridge coral and it's not blue it's Fire engine red
