first of all thanks for all the positive comments.
now on to the update:
i removed the overflow and just raised my pipes up to the height i want to keep the water at. And as requested here are the pics of top down with pumps off. note this is with only 2 MH burning and my camera's exposure set at 1/160 of a second. anything lower then that and its just to bright. With all 3 burning i think i had camera set at 1/300th like the pictures posted above.
and a pic of my test frag thats been in the tank about a week and seems to be doing great.
and a few pics of the frags and corals that will be fraged that will soon be placed in this tank.

Thanks for the updated pics. That thing is going to look so sweet filled with frags!!!!
I deffinetly think you could make some money off a setup like that if you were interested in it. I could see something like that in my lFS for a pretty penny. Keep it up, keep us posted on the frags.

I have to find a place to put one of those. The DIY equipment had to be less than half of the regular equipment and it still looks great.
fish are good
