Should be able to wire it right to the fan.

Some pics of the construction, pics aren't the greatest quality. Should be here end of next week.. so two weeks from final order to delivery, not bad. He included an overflow cover, no charge.

That's a pretty tank for sure. I also like your simple game plan and keeping it to a handful of corals. I have similar plans (frags mostly and keep my colony count down) only scaled up a few notches.

I just finished your build thread, wow that is one nice tank. Unbelievable finish.

Going to try and keep it to all captive bred/raised fish, not sure if this will work out though.
Tank got shipped off today! < 1 week from finalizing of the design, pretty sweet imo!

Just noticed your tank is made by an ebay guy. That's different I've never heard of such a thing. Do you use buy it now somehow to purchase his services or what? Thanks for the compliments. What sort of stand do you have planned?

I think he just recently started selling them on ebay. He's sold to a few people over at RC through his http://www.advanceacrylics.com/ site. The auction was a best offer. I offered him $30 less and he took it. Sweet part is that paid for all my upgrades.

The stand is a biocube28 I think. My furniture basically blocks the whole view so I just needed a stand of the right hight. Fits everything pretty well actually.

I tracked the guy down and his work looks really tight!

I also noticed if you look at his transaction history...the tanks are selling for much less than his buy it now price. The prices at a glance are amazing!
