Well I figured since I have my tank now, almost everything that I need to set it up that I would start an Official Tank Build thread. Over the course of the next 2 weeks I will be adding stuff to this thread for everyone to see. I would like to first Thank all the people on here that have helped me through the process of starting a SWF tank. Your knowledge, experience, patience, guidance, and answering all my questions over the last 16 months has helped me gain the courage to embark on the journey of setting up a SW Reef Tank. I hope that you all will follow along with me on this journey as it belongs to you as much as it does me! All comments and suggestions are welcome!!
This is the tank where it will be Placed once I have the outlets put in:

Sump Before the Baffles (should have all the baffles in it and pic posted Tuesday)

Here is 2 pics of the 60# of Aragamax Reef sand (not live)

I was so happy to see this thread tonight!
I am sure you were BTLD it has been a long time coming. I have to say that you were the first person that I ever talked to on these boards and want to personally thank you for telling me that it was possible for me to have a SWF tank.
You are very welcome. I'm so glad that this is finally happening! Remember, I have a lot of resources down here on the island, so if you can't find something, I can usually get it and ship it to you.

How did I miss this last night, tagging along - when are you drilling your tank, I guess you are waiting for the instructions I said I was going to send you.
