An early iteration with a ghetto lighting fix (4 bulb ballast went out shortly after putting everything in place, so I made a quick temp fix). It's tied into a 120 (with a 50 gal sump/fuge). Soon, it will all be tied into the same system (125, 120, 30, 130, 150 livestock, 100 livestock, 50 livestock). I finally have coral in the livestock tubs (they've been set up for about two years with nothing but rock, waiting on power).

guys i need help finding a frag tank. Who manufactures the frag tanks? Apparently my money isn't good enough for my LFS because they don't want to help me find the tank I'm looking for. I want a 48" tank that's 24-36" deep and 12-16" tall with overflows. thanks guys.

Some pics from my recent build

This is a great thread. I just completed my setup. 24 x 20 x 12 tied into my 120 display. Kinda empty right now but I keep buying chalices and my wallet is crying mercy!

second and third pics are some of the chalices I recently purchased.

brudor and fashionfile-
How do the bottom of your light poles attach or stand up? I want to do a simular pole to hang my lights at a frag swap because I think that looks really clean and nice. I just can't figure out if I'll have to use a clamp to clamp the light poles to the table or how to do it.. any input would be appreciated. thanks.

Here's mine. It's 48x24x12 and plumbed in to my main display sump.

Lighting is 2x 150w HQI and 4x54w T5 Actinics

You can see some of the crazy PAR#'s I'm getting from these 150's. Since this pic was taken, I've replaced the 2 MJ1200's with a couple of the new Coralife stream pumps and a small Tunze Nano Stream.
