Thanks for the kind words HHIreefer843!!!! really sorry about the late reply.
the main structure of the tank is 2X4 and then i just skinned it with 5/8" cabinet grade plywood.
I don't have a lot of photos of the construction stage but this should give you an idea how the structure of the system was put together.

your welcome! and good luck with your build!
quick question. I'm building a tank of my own and what I love most about yours is the rock work. How did you get your rock to balance on the bottom and what did you use to stick your rock together with.
I have to say though that yours is a front runner for my favorite, reasonable obtainable, reef tank that I feel I could aspire to. Thanks for the inspiration.
Personally, I liked the look of the tank better before you put in the T5s. I seemed more surreal to me. Still though, beautiful job.

Thanks for the kind words peeps!!!
Thanks for the compliments!!!
I tried my best to keep the system as clean and neat as much as posible as this is one of the first thing that everyone see when they walk in our home!!!
I didn't swich to radians"¦. Were you referring to something else?

Thanks for the kind words noved & kissman!!!!
The rock work were put together outside the aquarium and then pegged with an acrylic rod then moved back inside the aquarium no type of glue was used in the process. I just made sure the rocks are locked in to each other then drilled a hole that was just enough for the acrylic rods to go through.
noved, as per your comment about the MH vs T5 for the most part I do have to agree with you, it might just be some of my recent issues with the system or my corals are just larger now, but it seems that I used to get better growth and color with the MH.
Good luck to both of you on your current/future build!
I know it's been awhile"¦. been super busy with the new kid, and at work and I was just trying to make sure the system is somewhat alive. The next post would have a few random shots while I was doing water change.

Here are a few photos that I tool while I was in the middle of doing water change. All the photos were taken with actinic lights only. I would typically not post some of this photos as they are not sharp, but I thought I would share them anyways as the colors are pretty good I think"¦
