steel stand and what are your plans with it? I like the center overflow, it makes it viewable by both sides meaning twice the reef. You going to use both sides or put it in the wall or something?

i am housing them for a while until i can find a new home for them. as for the tank it will have a 90-100 gallon sump and a 40 gallon frag tank hooked in to it. i am making a skimmer for it as well as a calcium reactor. also going to make a wavebox so i hope that will move a lot of water...lots of coral, and tangs!!!

nice, recirculating. what kind of wavebox you going to make, i have seen some neat tunze diy stuff on tcmas that was pretty neat. If you are into softies it is really neat watching a wave, i like what it does with the frogspawns, and anenomes as well
