Hi all

Finally I have time to start this thread and post some pics.

Firstly, I have been in the hobby for 3 years now and have a 150G display currently, mixed SPS and LPS. I am upgrading to a 350G and here are the components :)

A custom 350G tank 96 X 30 X 28
A custom cherry 36 inch high stand
A 72 X 24 X 20 (150G) sump - plumbed in the basement.
A 24 X 24 frag tank - plumed with the system in the the basement.
A 40G Breeder Fuge
A 90G circulation/WC tank.

First the sump

Ignore the skimmer, it is not what I will use :)

I cry whenever I read build threads where the OP has a sump not just bigger than my tank, but double it AND another fuge. I can't wait to see how this tank progresses.

This is going to a very awesome build.... Really love the setup. The plumbing is really keel also..

Yes, I had to reinforce the floor. The total weight is close to 4000lb filled.

Here are before and after pics of the floor :-
