August Update!
I have been starting to grow an addiction to Zoa's...Reef Wonderland has not helped this new addiction because Angus is bringing in some awesome frags. I haven't noticed them growing much yet but I do notice they have really started to get deeper colours under my LED's. Its only a matter of time before they start to spread like wildfire. Currently have 11 different zoa frags in my tank. Few of them are mixed so 2-3 different types on the same plug. Picture time! (Sorry its an Iphone..)     Also have some bubble tips which my clowns are now hosting.    Of course because you cant post pictures will a FTS. Still fighting some Cyno but its starting to clear up, might do a chemi clean soon to just get it over with.  Don't think I will be getting to many more frags for a while as my wife and I have just had our first baby on July 28th. So water changes and upkeep for a while only. That's ok though as it lets us watch the color we have start to grow out

Hopefully when hes a bit older he can help me out with doing water changes and feedings. Tanks is still far from anything special in my eyes, but maybe its because I see all the other members awesome tanks (with way more experience on me as well) and I think to myself how do I get a tank looking that awesome! Love that his hobby is always making you ponder. Just takes Time, something that can never go fast enough or goes to fast.... I will try to update a FTS each month.

Cool build. I like the dimensions of your sump. Wish mine was a little less tall like yours. Makes it easier to get things in and out.
Glad to hear things are turning around for you. Looking good!

Thanks the only thing I would change on both my sump and main display if I was doing it again would be to make them wider front to back. The heights are awesome but a few more inches in the front would allow me to lay some bigger rocks down allowing for more coral

Well today I am so incredible frustrated with this tank. I noticed that one of my drain lines has had a large build up of salt creep lately and I thought nothing much of it. Until today when I came home and saw that the wood my tank is sitting on is starting to turn white...
I think the bulk head itself is cracked and has a very very slow leak just enough to make a trickle of water creep out down the pipe and along the bottom of the tank between the glass and the wood. Now being one of my first tank builds I though it would be smart to cut a hole just big enough for the bulkheads to fit through when I placed the tank...well this has sure come around to bite me in the backside. I think im going to have to find a way to remove a section of the wood with a dremel tool then cut out the bulk head (because of course I had to glue it in!) and replace with a new one...UGH. Just dont have the time for this now with a new born...larger tank looks great but so many headaches it seems.

Sorry to hear that! Bulkhead leaks suck! I have had to deal with that problem - went away for a weekend come back to a bulkhead leak and water everywhere.
I like your tank though! I bought similar lights to yours - I assume you got them straight from China as well? 140 dollars per 55 led fixture is a win in my books.- I can deal with not being able to control them with an aquarium controller
