Tagging long!

Great planning. I wish I knew how to use sketchup as well as you do!

Just a suggestion. You could do what Kien did and do a table of contents that link to the posts.

Just a thought.

This looks to be a very nice build. I really like the dimensions, similar to what I have designed for my build. So if I understand correctly you have most of the components bought already ? Looking forward to the rest.

It is very similar to your tank dimensions. I'm following your thread intently.
I have most of the hardware already purchased. The missing pieces are lighting and live rock. Obviously I'm not ready for the rock yet as the tank was just finished.

I really like your thread layout. I think this makes a lot of sense since when you're done it'll read as a concise "This is how I did what I did" guide without all the chitter-chatter in between posts.

I've nver heard of Concept Aquariums. I googled it and I find references to a place in edmonton but their website is shut down....

Hi Mark - Thanks for the encouragement.

Anyway - There seems to be some confusion around the name Concept Aquariums. I don't know all of the details because I really have no idea who used to run the Edmonton based company. I do know that they are not the same company and that the owners have nothing to do with each other. As I understand it, the similar name is just a coincidence.
