Default New 145g
Got it done last week. 145g from BVA viewable from both sides with the two large panes being Starfire. Now just need to start stocking.

Had drilled for 3-2" and 5-1" bulkheads. Using a Dart with a OM 4way for the CL (2" intake to 4-1" outlets) then a March 6 series (have since replaced with Iwaki MD70RLT) to return water from the 75g basement sump through a 1", sump being fed by the other 2-2".

Lights are 2-250W PFO pendants with 14k Hamilton bulbs supplementing with 2-40W fluorescents.

Few thing still need some tuning and planning a some changes already.

Still can't figure out how to embed photos into post but here's some:

Wowzer Mark! You do that all by yourself?

So the sump is run to the basement?

Thanks guys.

It took a while, planning was being done before the basement was even dug, but happy with how it turned out.

Sump is in the basement with the tank return bulkhead about a 12 foot horizontal run to the pump.

Pillars were made by the builder but he got the material from Windsor Plywood (and that's where I got material for hood).
