It looks really nice. What kind of livestock do you have?

At the present I have 3 Blue / Green Chromis, 2 Maroon Clowns and a 6 line for fish. Corals include Xenia and Anthelia (which I am selling), 3 kinds of mushrooms, Cabbage coral, Kenya Tree, 4 Species of Zoo's. Other inverts include Hermits, snails and one lonely aiptaisa eating pepermint shrimp.

Thats an awesome tank Todd and I love the way you used it as a room divider.. most cool!

I am looking forward to expanding its contents. I was happy (well, less hesitant) to put money into the tank and equipment because I know that I will have it for a long long time. But I may be moving this year (may be to a new city), and I am hesitant to spend money on livestock when I may have to sell it in the medium / near future.

If you will end up selling it i wouldn't buy any livestock unless you can sell it for more than you bought it for.

Nice work. I particularly like the idea of having an addiitonal bulkhead in the overflow for electrical conduit. That should be standard on all new builds!

It does make for a really nice clean set up. I dislike the look of return plumbing up the outside or having cords hanging around untidy.

Its a really large hole - I think I have a 3" bulkhead in there, and I am finding it hard to get cords through too. Although I do have alot of cords running up there, I will end up with 9 cords through there:

1 for 2 fans (spliced together up top)
2 for the MH bulbs
1 for Auto Feeder
1 For tunze powerhead
1 for Auto feeder
1 for T5 bulbs
1 for auto feeder
1 (or 2, not sure yet) for LED effect lighting (sunrise/set, moon lights and lightning on the profilux)
