nope, i had it built by a local guy, hes also doing the mods to the skimmer (he said we'd have it by last monday!! and were still waiting.....), also today i finally got the Seio 620, and a maxijet 1200 or sumthing like that..... the seio's awsome, all the different ways you can put it..... now the tank has like 23x turnover, anyone think there should be 1 more powerhead or not?? (theres only going to be 2-3 SPS)

ya i didnt like the rock work that much either, ive changed it like 3 times since then
, i made a few HUGE canves, and opend it up a lot more (but i tried to keep the front 6-8 inches of the tank clear of rocks for lots of room for fish to swim, updated pics coming soon (tommarow)

Nice tank and sump!
I don't know how hot the two pumps run in the sump, but you can add a couple of icecap fans to keep the temp down in the sump.
