I'll start my build thread with a little background. I have been in the hobby for several years with several successfull tanks. Started with a 20g tall, moved to a 40 breeder with a 40 breeder display refugium. I recently moved from Az to Northern California and sold my entire tank, all my equipment in anticipation of the move. I kept about 30lbs of rock and some coral and brought it along for the move. I got here with no tank and no stand. I got to work right away building my stand (I'm sure the neighboring condo's love me by now). My big camera has been packed for most of the pics but I'll break it out once the tank is filled and settled. I built the stand in anticipation of a 60g cube. I ordered it and it arrived broken :uzi:so I accepted a refund and will stick with a 20g tall til I buy a home and get out of this condo.

Eqiupment:

Display: 20g tall
Sump: 10g
Return: Rio hyper flow 10

Finally got water in the tank. Everything is up and running. A few snags with a little plumbing leak. Still need to clean up the wires and add the rest of my rock.

And here is the death and destruction from the move. I lost a lot of high end pieces but most of my zoa collection survived.
