By the way everyone this is Deses old set up , so I had a great start to the project.
Des, I did paint the back of the tank with Krylon plastic and glass paint. It worked really well, but it stunk up the apartment when I painted it. I also missed a couple of times and painted the carpet.
I modified the sump from the 12 gallon to the 50 gallon. I added a couple of baffles and put the Berlin skimmer directly in the sump. I will post a pic of the sump when I have it a little more organized

I decided to not go with a refugium yet due to space. The halide ballasts will take up most of the remaining room.
Des I still need the top if it is available. Do you still have any live rock or corals for sale?
