well I took a break from swf for some time but i have the bug again so I'm setting up a new tank this will be my new mixed reef with the possibility of sneaking some rare fishes in the mix. I'm excited cause I have had big tanks but this is a monster to what I use to have. I will post some pics but first will tell you mt set up.

The stand I far from done we are going to wrap the stand in aromatic cedar and trim out the bottom and top also i will have a custom floating lid for the lighting. the tank had a few scratches but i have since the had the scratches removed with help from a local shop.
