I just moved my original 40gal hex aquarium from St. Edward's U into a 40gal bowfront at my house. These are some pics:

The original taken back in January:

The new setup (so much more space I don't even have enough rock anymore):

Picture quality is not very good right now and I'm still cleaning up (that's why cords are in the pic).[/b]

The bottom three are the new setup/tank pics from different angles.

Robert, I may just have to take you up on that canopy tools/eqiupment and crete rock soon. When will you be making the crete?

Yeah, it's a bowfront 40gal Jebo R375. I've got a 250W 10000K Ushio lighting it but working on getting actinics for the first time. I've got a 25 gallon personally-made acrylic sump with just a Nautilus TE skimmer running in it.

Things I'm looking at doing some time when I get rich:
1) Make a canopy to fit onto this Jebo R375, maybe almost impossible but I'll try. I'm looking to put a 250W halide and two 24" actinics in it.
2) Get my, free, Icecap 660 repaired along with buying or making a harness for it
3) Get two 24" VHO actinic bulbs
4) Make or find a really inexpensive calcium reactor
5) Go to Harbor Frieght Tools and pick up a carbon dioxide tank, don't know what I'm going to do about a regulator or controller
6) Obtain a Mag7 to upgrade my return pump
7) Obtain another Mag7 for a closed-loop wavemaker, I've already got a brand new SCWD
8 Get a new 250W 10000K metal Halide bulb
9) Get rich!

First thing you need to do is replace #1 with #9. lol
