Marineland Deep Dimensions Club

Not sure if there is one already but if there isn't, I would like to start one. A good place to put pics, mods or equipment for any of the Marineland Deep Dimensions (36" depth) tanks. I know there is the 150 cube, the 200 and the 300 but I have also heard some custom ones made by Marineland. I'm starting this from work so I don't have access to any pics but I'll get some up tonight.

My tank is the 150 DD, with a custom stand and screen top. I'm housing a pair of Orange Spotted File Fish (Diver's Den trained to eat just about anything). I also have a sand slope about 8 in deep which is the home to 4 garden eels. Aquascaping is subdued with a couple of bommies with LPS, SPS & Softies.
Sump is a 29g tank housing phosban reactor w/ brightwell Katalyst bio pellets, Eshopps S150 Cone skimmer, Sicce 3.5 return pump. Sock with Bio-Chem Zorb bag.
Flow is provided by an MP10 and the sump return line which are setup in a gyre style flow pattern.
Lighting is provided by a single 400W XM 20K retro fixture.
Cooling and heating is tweaked via a small chiller and heater.
Most everything is controlled and monitored via an AC3
 
It wouldn't be if I wasn't using the gyre but I myself am amazed what one can accomplish with this flow technique.
 
I've got a 150 as well with Starphire. Standard stand though - no canopy. I have a custom made light hanger with a single SE 250 wattReeflux 10K bulb with a Lumenmax Elite reflector. I have a standard acrylic sump manufactured by Sealife Systems that could be a little bit bigger IMO, but it serves the purpose. I'm running (2) Tunze 6045's and (2) Seio 820's for water movement. The return is a Mag 12. I'm also running an Octopus SRO-1000 INT skimmer.

My tank is infested with dino's and looks like crap (literally).
