Equipment in the tank is as follows:
Tank: Standard 65 gallon (36wx18dx24h) Return pump: Rio 2500 Powerhead: EcoTech MP40W Lights: 4x39 watt T5HO and 4x24 watt T5HO Controller: Aquacontroller Jr. and JBJ ATO Skimmer: SWC-120 Filtration: CACO3reef media reactors (Carbon and GFO) Dosing: Manual with little measuring cups  Here's the sump setup. I think if there were an ugly sump contest, I'd be in the running.  So I think my next step is going to be building a new stand for this tank. I would like to add enough room underneath that I can (safely!) mount all my equipment in a more orderly fashion. I'd also like enough space for storage because I hate leaving food and supplies lying around when ideally I could have it all underneath.

Instead of redoing the stand, which seemed a bit silly to have to drain the tank and move it onto a new one, I added a second stand to hold freshwater, dosing solutions, and all the accessories that were previously strewn about my apartment. If it looks like a kitchen cabinet that's sitting on the floor instead of the wall, that's because it is, but it fits with the rest of my furniture, so it works!
 And here's the sump all cleaned up. Believe it or not, this is a LOT cleaner than it used to be. I actually spent half an hour today cable tying all the cords up. I did add a light in there after the picture, for future use in case I put a bit of macro algae in the sump, but for now I apparently let it grow rampant in the display.  And a shot of the tank with it's new buddy cabinet holding all the junk.  And here is an actinics shot the little island on the left that is home to my zoas and a maxi-mini from Eli that decided the best place for itself would be on the underside of the rock, completely out of view.
