Well not much going on today. Secured the power bar to the stand and..... plugged it in.
 Oh and I ordered glass for the euro-brace. After some consultation from Mike and the guys on canreef I got a pretty good idea on how I am going to do my canopy. BTW anyone got a source on some cheap quiet fans that plug into the wall?

Well I think I got a design for my sump, I think I will go 36" x 18" x 18". Tell me what you think.
 Going from left to right the horizontal line is for a holder for my filter sock. Below is a chamber for my protien skimmer and whatever else I want to put in there (reactors, probes etc.) Next is a frag chamber; this will have a section in the back for mangroves. I am probably going to put in a rack for the mangroves and DIY a tray for substrate. Im still unsure if I want to permanently put in a trough for a DSB for the mangroves. This will mean the frag chamber is 12x12. After that is a set of baffles then the last chamber is a section for the pump and the heaters. BTW each square equals 1".

Another Update!!
Yesterday I got a Quiet One 4000 in next to new condition. I guess it was too big for the previous tank. Thanks again Randy!! Today I spent my lunch hour running around like a chicken with my head cut off looking for plumbing supplies. I think I got all the fittings I need, all thats let is the loc-line so an order from J&L will happen here pretty quick. I also was able to get my glass cut for my euro brace and blocks for the stand to sit on. Big thanks to Scott for grabbing that for me on his way home. So here is everything when I got home. Plumbing  Glass for the Euro Brace  Well apparently I got the glass for the sides too big so I put the glass master to work trimming off a 1/4 inch.  After a trip to TFI for a tube of silicone and a silicone gun, here I am putting down the silicone.  This is what happens when you let the glass Master help you put on the euro brace.  Ofcourse the silicone was on the tank already so he sped off to TFI to get another brace cut and get the blocks for the stand cut.  Add 2 beads of silicone  Press onto Euro brace and you have a block that will keep my canopy frame off the bracing and water so it wont get wet.  The almost finished product. I am going to trim the excess silicone tomorrow evening.  I havent tried the plumbing yet but the night is young

That picture is just about a year old and if you read te thread youd see the tank has been moved since then. Not to mention the drip loops were all on the power cords for the pumps, skimmer, heater, etc.
