and this is how it looks today. in the last few months ive extended the cabinet to fit the larger sump mentioned above. and leave room for when i get my calcium reactor running along with some other stuff. also put my surround sound amp and dvd player in the end of the cabinet as well. heres the newer pics, right up to pics from a few days ago :

left end with overflow pip from tank, and skimmer pump
