110 X-Hi - Tank & Wall Photos

[westwind77]

I thought I knew a 'fair' amount of info on marine tanks, until I came here! Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the help and suggestions I have had with the new tank. Figured I would post a few pics of what people have been helping me with!
These first 5 images are of the wall getting set-up and the 'old' 75g tank we were going to use, then realized it would look to small, so bought the 110g. Before the tank wall was built there was a small entrance wall which was removed.

Here are some images of the new 110g set-up....

As you can see I wanted to keep the inside of the tank as clean as possible of equipment, and that is/was hard to do with out a sump. I am exchanging a closed loop pump for the next size up as i want a little more flow. I could add a power head to the end wall if I really needed to, but like I said really want to keep a clean look. I have a local glass place cutting a section to put over the end closest to the wall as the 'stock' glass does not fit with the equipment. Shy of that and a possible light upgrade I think i am finally getting close

Any questions/feedback/suggetions I am all ears!

Cool! So you have some piping going through the wall and I would guess down to a sumpfuge??

Yes, I had the back of that wall designed hollow to run all my tubing/power down. I am running an Eheim 2229 Wet/Dry canister filter. I forgot to mention that I replaced that plywood base that the tank sits on with a 3/4" Starboard base as I have heard of condensation issues under tanks before. Here are a few I just snapped of under...

I was holding off on adding more rock as I was not sure what I wanted to do for coral yet. Either way, how much more LR should I add to the tank?
Thanks!
