Thanx! The glass tank is a 72x36x12 (about 150 gallon) and the "sump" is a portable koi pond that holds about 300 gallons (if I remember right) and is full of softies and leathers...

The one in the far back corner is a 55 gallon suspended growout tank ala Anthony Calfo that just went up last week with three sides and the bottom painted white. We'll see how it does.
 
Beautiful setup Vert20! If you don't mind me asking, how much did the portable koi pond set you back? How sturdy is the build? That thing looks huge!!
 
Thanx Joekr, that is built with square tube frame and legs, very sturdy. I had it full (freshwater) while testing it, the liner bellows a bit from the water but still very sturdy.

I got two of them on close out from Aquatic-EcoSystems last year at 70.00 a piece. They were regularly 160 or something like that. Should have picked up more cause now I cannot find them. At 16" deep they are great frag tanks in them selves and very easy to light and plumb. It has a drain that a 3/4 bulkhead fits real snug.
 
joekr, how do you like the 50 gallon rubbermaid? I'm thinking about getting one and my only concern is only being able to look down from the top.
 
I like the container a lot, mainly because of the durability, the depth and the price. The things I don't care for are the view from the top and the need to plumb the skimmer elsewhere.

For the price though, I don't think it can be beat (unless you can get a portable koi pond for 70 bucks, then grab the koi pond like vert20 has ;) )

coraldynamics, (vert20) did you buy your website off ebay? I thought it saw it on there, but maybe not?

I bought the company (which included the website) off ebay. I had been a long time customer of Rick's (previous owner) and had been in negotiations with him prior to it going up on eaby. We worked out a deal for all the livestock and parent colonies and he shipped them all to me here in Charlotte. The equipment and stuff I had already or purchased to house the livestock.

Thanx for asking!
