I decided to start a new project. I would like to give thanks to Rychek who sold his system to me for Tank, Stand, Canopy $300.
I would also like to thanks Big_Pun for the 75 gallon sump for $20.
Both were advertised here on MAAST.

I took the tank over to Forever Pets and they took the tank apart and put it back together with new seals, installed molding, and built a custom glass canopy set
and returned back to me within 1 week. Thank you Forever Pets. Now thats customer service. Thats kool.
FP got it back to me before I could fix the baffles in the sump. lol

The stand is huge 42 inches tall and the 75 gallon sump slides into the side.

Rychek had the footprint at 72"x24"x17". But with the trim molding its now 20 in tall. nice. The glass between the trim measures just under 17 in.

Added a trim to the top I see? I looked at this tank, I *almost* bought it. One of the things I liked about it was that it was semi-rimless. Great foot print though.

Yes I was concerned about about installing trim but it looks sweeet. And it helps with custom glass canopy they made for me. I should easily light this one with LEDs.
I allmost bought a set of custom LEDs for the 210 but these great offers kept popping up on MAAST and nobody was grabbing them. So opportunity knocked.

Cool. I'm finally almost done with my LEDs too. It's been a looooong road. I could have just bought some AI or Mazarras by this point, but I wouldn't have learned anything that way. There are some cheaper chinese boxes that people have been buying and having success with, you may look into them. There is a thread on RC, boxes range from $170-270 I think...some even have controllers in them now.

210 crashed and moved most everything to the 125RR
update pics on the reef. More on the way. Tangs are doing ok from the transition from a 210 to a 125. They use every bit of the 6ft. lol
