Thanks for the nice comments guys! This project has become a full time job for me. SuperR has went to great lengths to get me started on this build, not to mention he just finished drywalling my fish room. Thanks bro!

As for the live rock, most is Vanuatu with a few fiji rocks.

Your going to love that BK SM200. I have one running on my 200 gal tank. Its a monster. Build looks good. I like that sump. No cross bracing or euro bracing?

I think the SM200 should do its job!

And no bracing on the sump because it has 7 baffles reinforcing it. Also 3/8" cast acrylic.

Thanks, have the wife to thank on the design of the house. As far as the direction I'm heading with the tank build, I have to say I have two of the best working with me, Rob (SuperR) and Flavio(Advanced Reef Aquatics). These two guys have extended their support and welcomed me into this hobby with the utmost respect, wisdom, and professionalism.This build has become my baby and am sure will become one of intrigue. I thank you guys and will update frequently as progress continues.

*****got a few wild ideas approaching regarding the fish room so stay tuned!*****

Yup, I used to go too ORG when he was there. But now that he left I don't got there.

And Flavio is not open too the public. I think he is doing more wholesale. I think he is going retail soon...

Hey Tim/Rob, does the main floor needs reenforcement on the floor joist? Have you done that or not necessary? I guess since its going besides the stairs in the corner of the family room, there should be plenty of support below.

Hey uvijaya, I am fortunate enough to have the tank situated near an exterior wall to the rear of the tank, as well a steel I-beam directly under the left side. Had it not been for this I would definately have considered further reinforcement in the basement below.
As for the stand, it will not have feet. It will be a flat bottom stand and will shim if necessary to maintain its level. This will provide me with the best method of evenly distributing the weight of the sytem.

Here is the new bulb combo for the Stealth

Sunset/Sunrise 1xATI blueplus - 1xFigiPurple - 1xATI actinic - 1xSfilogoi actinic.

Subscribed! This is like watching a good movie. I have my popcorn and drink ready. I am really looking forward to the ending (or is it beginning?) of this build.
