My 58 Gallon.

[mrapisura]

I finally got my 58g set up and filled. I bought it back in October of 2007. It has been a long work in progress. I stripped the stand and restained it, built a 20h sump, and collected the pump, and 250hqi from clkwrk when he was selling the stuff from his tank. The rock came from azrednex when he was breaking down one of his tanks back in Dec. It's been in a tub with a powerhead ever since. Not too pretty, but it will serve its purpose. Now I have to hang the mh over the tank and will be set to go. Here is a picture and will add more as I go. Thanks for all the advise from everyone on the forum.

Looking good Mike. Glad to see you getting started. Lets see some pictures of the sump.

Thanks Jay, I will post some tonight. Thanks for the help on that. The acrylic is sticking fine to the glass with silicone. Hey I want to check out your gate valve mod on your octopus skimmer. Do you have any pics and description of how you did it?

Here is my sump. Nothing in it yet except equipment. Cords are not tied up yet.

Mike, all I did was cut the output pipe off and sylicon on some 1.25" pipe onto it.

Here is a pic of the tank it is on.

Like the FTS at the end there.

Finally got most of the live rock out of my Biocube along with most of the frags. Only lps and zoos left. I makeshift aquascaped it. I like it, but need more flat surfaces. Here is a FTS and some pics under the Phoenix 14k bulb. A little blue compared to what I am used to, but the coral colors look nice under it.
