mark, I did see this tank while looking for inspiration. It looks awesome & clean with a sump.

Haloreef, yep Hawaiian Botanicals it was! They have some awesome little carnies in right now.
Leah, haha, really- this wasn't very much work! I'd say it took maybe 5 hours all together over the days. A quick mist twice a day (I'd love to get a fogger in there) and top up the water in the pool every few days. Thats it! And I would definitely consider it on the same coolness/interest level as a reef tank.
