Well as some of you may know I was starting a 60gal cube (24x24x24) BB tank, with a DSB of carbon. I downgraded from my 125gal because of some personal issues (good issues, not bad). I have had it up and running for a few weeks now. It took me longer than anticipated to get the lights going and still working out plumbing issues, but it is there. A few of my SPS corals aren't doing so great because of the long and stressful journey to getting things up and running again, but they will bounce back....and if not...well thats why I work....I will just buy more :D .

Shout-out list:
SPECIAL THANKS go out to Louis at AW for getting me the exact tank I wanted and to the exact specifications....and an OUTSTANDING price.

UBER-ULTRAL-SPECIAL-DANG YOU THE MAN THANKS go out to Ace, a.k.a. hobogato, for building me the canopy, stand, and sump/fuge. This man saved my booty and did a BEYOND IMAGINABLE GREAT job!!!!!! Not only did he get things done to my exact specification, but he went above and beyond...thinking of things I would have never thought of. He also worked day and night non-stop to get it done when I needed. Also at a very reasonable price.

Well, here are the pics. More to come in the future and things get purdy again.

I am impressed with the construction of the stand. Everything is nice and even, lol! It is good idea to put as many doors as you did. I am more than certain that come the future, you will appreciate it.

OK, so it has been almost a year since I started this tank and it's about time I posted some progress. I stole this idea from someone on here....but here is a quick video of my tank taken a couple of weeks ago with my camera. I will post some pics also.

I've seen Anson's tank. It is awesome. The most purple rock I have ever seen.

Thanks for all the complements!! I love this tank, however I will be setting up a 90gal within the next few weeks. So if anyone is interested in the set up I will be selling the tank, stand and canopy.
