The Reef Tank Saga

[avbryce1]

This is my 100 gallon reef tank 3 weeks ago, that I had been working on for about a year.
The stand was unfinished and the camera was crooked but you get the idea.

Great start whats the plan? What type of lighting and filtration?

well this is the rest of the story......
About 3 days after that photo was taken the rear seal went out and I came home to about 50 gallons of saltwater on my carpet.
I happened to have an acryllic tank in my garage. So I dug out that tank, cleaned it out, and saved about half of my livestock and my liverock.
The new tank is a 70 gal acryllic with a 70 gallon fuge and a 40 gal. sump

The lighting is 500w MH over the display and 250w MH over the fuge
for filtration I have a bio-box with bio-balls and an asm G3 skimmer as well as the fuge
