For now, there is a small filter on one of the powerheads, but the plumbing will be finished this weekend.

Looking good bro. Love the aqua scaping in that deep sand bed. Awesum!!

The filtration will be an aquatic life systems 150 sump with a filter sock, and eventually mini fuge, getting an Reef Octopus Recirc skimmer for it soon. The return pump is a gen-x 55. The tank also will have a closed loop running off a dart.

Thanks, we tried to sand, bleach, and restain the stand, but it was just in to rough of condition, so becca sanded it for the 15th time and we decided to paint it. I actually think I like it painted more now anyways. lol. go figure.

Tank looks good thats the same size tank that was in my garage when you guys came over. I call it a 135 to save the confusion. anyway looks good. I can't wait to move to get mine up and running. it's driving me bonkerz !!

I understand the frustration. lol. It's been sitting here sooooo long. The one benefit we had was the live rock coming from established tanks. The sand I ended up buying new dead sand, but all of the rock was alive.

I think it looks great guys. Nice rock work.

Thanks, spent a little bit of time on the rock work, and nick stopped by and rearranged a couple of the pieces in the front. Have a few more rocks to have but they are covered in softies, and want to make sure the cycle if we have one at all is complete before i put the rest of the corals in.

Thanks Don! The aquascaping actually went pretty easy, we did it before we put the sand in, and the rock was very stable. The sand ended up being deep because the fact we put the rock in first though. I didn't think it was going to be so deep, I actually thought I was going to have to order 2 more bags, but It worked out very well.
