we are looking into upgrading or 75 and getting a 125. I think I may use your pictures to help make the base and top, if you don't mind. Where at in ohio did you have work done. I live by Lima nad Findlay. If you have any more pics of inside your top and base I would really like to see them. Thank you

thanks crcoachm
my first tank you saw for sale was built by a cabinet man in broadview hts, oh this was about 12 yrs ago. my father used to build houses up there before he retired and this is the guy he used. his name is louie but i have no clue of his company name. he built it to match the cabints in my house. i will take more pics of my new tank (inside) tomorrow and e-mail or post them here

when you look a the first pic i labled "here we go........." you can see the 1 pvc intake, that leads to my sump, which in turn have my skimmer (& pump) that leads to my SQWD & via 2 tubes go back into the tank. (very confusing to type, sorry )
i have 6 vho's in all, 160w each, 3 white & 3 blue, they are the length of the tank (6' ish), the ballast's are mounted under the tank (also in another pic above).
the whole reason for all of this is because it is in the middle of the room and trying to keep as much "hang off" OFF as much as possible. and as you can see i only have "hangf" at one end for cords.
thank you for you comments my tank!!!, and PLEASE let me know about yours. are you going to do a similar "room divide" tank ?
keep me posted

I wish I could do a room divider, but I have a old farm house. There is just no real good spot to do this.
I will let you know how things go, I won't be able to get started till after christmas, with this new project.
But we are pretty sure we are kinda going to use your tank as our model!!
I seen that you spent 6.oo on live rock. I hope you loooked around good and our happy with what you got. I found a nice site with LIVE rock for 6. You should check this stuff out, it is at www.tampabaysaltw***r.com
go to the online cataolg
Thanks for your pics and info!!

i am happy you are going to use my tank as a model!
as far as live rock goes, you are not allowed to mention other vendor websites on this site, because they sell things here. you will get yelled at big time!!!
needless to say i did look around, and then my lfs got this really nice rock in so i went with them so as to get sort of a "package deal" on the entire set up.
let me know how everything goes, you can also e-mail me at sweetmamaski@yahoo.com
