I've never posted on this site before but I would like to share my tank. It's always noce to see other tanks and their progression.

I have a 180 gallon acrylic tank
50 gallon sump

800 watt titanium heater
Fluval sp6 return pump
Refugium
I built my stand and canopy
I built my lighting

This was back in February before the tank cycling, in the process of the build. I cost quite a bit, like the tip of my finger. I cut it on my table saw making the doors
