I beleive the DT measures 36 long, 18 tall, and 16 wide.
I bought an Oceanic 1 Model Sump.
I know it could be made better so let me know what I should add.
Measurements are 24L, 13W, and 17T. Dont know the gallons of the tank I forgot the forumla. I think around 20 gals is the sump

My lighting is a 36 inch TEK fixture. the 6 bulb w indiv reflectors. Havent got all the bulbs as of now. Ive only ordered 2 bulbs and need 4 more. So far ive spent I think 450 on the lights and need to spend another 100+ more

For the Skimmer im going to get an Octopus brand. I cant remember the model. MSX or something.
Think im gonna buy a 10 gal tank and drill it and plumb it for a fuge! But IDK yet. Gotta see how much room I have after I finsih the stand.
Im building the stand myself. Im sure itll be ghetto since im no carpetner or anything, but as long as it gets the job done Ill be good!
Ill post pics after school and work of what I have so far.

Oh yeah tank will be a mixed reef. SPS, LPS, RICS, and of Course zoas! But only the best I have will make into this tank. I want a lot of LE corals and what not in here...
Fish wish I really dont know yet. One day I want a lot of schooling peaceful colorful fish. then next day I want a few aggressive fish. So we'll see how that plays out.
So far I think I have 2 Koralis. maybe a 3 and 2 or just two 2 models. I cant remember. Ill prolly add another small powerhead as well. And I have a stealth 150 watt heater. And Ill buy another one for backup.
I drilled the 40 gal for an overflow box. I got it off glass holes.
Heres Pics of the sump and other things for the tank

Welll after moving into our apt today (We havent moved the other 2 tanks yet..)
Figured out that it just wasnt gonna be enough space for the set up I was gonna use for the 40 gal tank. So I know I gotta sell all and try to see what I can get for it. All Equipment brand new! Sucks. Main display was a 40 breeder, 30 gal sump, 30 gal refugium. Tek lights, I drilled the glass, blah blah blah....
Sucks..
BUt now im gonna keep the 14 biocube and get anohter 14 biocube... And then sometime later get a custom made tank or something slick... Just no time soon
