Very Very nice clean looking setup!

What are the tank dimensions?

Do you plan to panel the stand?

Looking forward to this build

Looks good. Very clean and shinny. Cant wait til you dirty it up a bit.

This Tank is 48x18x18. 72 gal, with a 60gal sump. I think It'll will have a black skirt around the bottom, to hide the sump. This will make the display more noticable. I want access, but don't want anything drilled into the stand. The stand was powder coated to keep it from rusting. I know it's not large, by any means, but you do want you can, with the space provided. The water reseviour and auto top off is located in the room behind it. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress. Cool! I'm now a member. Thank-you

That is a sleek looking tank. Is the a er rs 80 or 100? I have the 80 nd coudent be hapier with it.

The skimmer is an rs 80. Hopefull it'll be big enough for the 72 gallon tank. The back of the tank will stay clear. I want the reef to stand out, and to be able to see through the reef itself. I'm going to go with a reef structure frame of some type, to create caves and ledges. Question? Does it stress out fish to not have the back painted? Doug

No, but it doesn't look very good unless it is a room divider and you get to see both long sides, otherwise imo it just looks unfinished. Like a picture tacked onto the wall without a frame.
