i started being fascinated in reef aquaria in year 2006. It was hard to start at first, because back then in Philippines, equipments are limited but we are greatly blessed by livestock. Livestock in Philippines are quite cheap comparing it with prices over the net. I started with a 75 gallons sps dominated tank. After one year, i started a 35 gallons nano tank for my girlfriend. And after 2 years, my parents ask me to commission a 180 gallon main tank in there new condo unit. The condo unit is located on the 41st floor, so the structural integrity of the stand is a must. Oversized the stand for the sole purpose of lessen the risk of water spillage on there all wood flooring. Due to the financial support of my parents, i am privilege enough to spend some bucks for there tank for my own pleasure. And after just two years, Philippines right now is vastly blessed by some new gadgets available over the net. Here are my gadgets list:

Main Tank: 72"Lx24"Wx30"H (water level will only be 24" because the tank will be located 41st floor up)
Sump Tank: 60"x24"x18"

cartimar has allot chalice but in very bad condition... most of the chalice come from a local diver that is a friend of mine... so i just asked him to get a piece of chalice for every color set he can find. so your also from PI?
 
if you talking about brace on the bottom of his tank then I think I see it very clearly in the first picture...:worried:


i think i have euro bracing on the bottom and top of the tank... thanks tc2008 for pointing it out...
 
Can we see some more pic's of your sump in action? That is a bad a$$ sump, and would love to see it filled with h20..... Thanks
