After a few weeks of obtaining parts and pieces here and there, and waiting to get the vinyl put on the new tank is finally wet!!!! I got the tank and few other pieces from Louis at Elegant reef. I picked up a few pieces of dry man made live rock from Alex at Phenomenal, and had Twan build me an awesome 24"x24" custom made U-Shaped sump. I'm going to let it run for a few days just to make sure there is no cycle with the man made dry rock, and will then be moving all my corals, fish, and live rock from my old system. The tank will be an SPS dominate bare bottom system. I'll be rocking my Ecoray 60Ds until I can make up my mind as to what I want to use on this tank.

In the process of building 93g cube also. Did your tank come frameless or did you take the frame off? Interested in seeing the sump too!

Its constructed out of black acrylic and has clear on the front so the refugium is visible. The tank came frameless marineland came out with their frameless cubes a few months ago.

At the moment I have 2 Ecoray 60Ds I'll be using from my old tank it seems that everytime I think I have my mind made up on the fixture I want for this tank some manufacture comes out with something new lol makes my head hurt with all the choices out there...
