Well with the start of the new month coming, i thought it would be a good time to start my first ever build thread from the beginning.
I decided a while back that i want a slightly larger tank, and a lookdown type reef. The 18 gallon rimless just isnt working out for me. (i just want to be able to look down on the corals... mostly a personal preference thing. )
Anyway here are the specs:
Tank:
30 breeder AGA tank
Glass divider to create a sump in the back (about 5 inches x 18 inches x 12 high for skimmer, heater and return pump, and a place to mount korallia 1s).
Filtration:
Live sand
Live rock (very minimal)
small skimmer (a piece of junk that i fell in love with. at least it isnt a seaclown)
Lighting:
luminarc mini reflector
250 watt radium 20k SE bulb
2-4 powerbrite 460 strips
Livestock:
Various high end corals, a large zoo garden, and a ric garden (eventually) and a few SPS. But mainly LPS.
Clean up crew
fish?!?
Other than that... thats all
More to come later.

PS
Gmaquarium, I'll see if the tank can be picked up this weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Also thanks to mike for making this upgrade possible.
lastly, The 18 rimless is still available (t5ho light w extra geissman and an ATI bulb, 5.5 gallon tank for sump, and full plumbing included). There has been some interest but no solid deal yet. (just throwing it out there without having to make another thread).
