Ok everyone this is my first post. My name is Larry and I am setting up a 150g mixed reef tank. I have decided to DIY some of the if the things I need for the tank, ie the stand, canopy and sump. I have already started on the stand, I am building a steel frame stand covered in wood. I am waiting for quotes on getting it powder coated, and while I wait I want to get started on the sump.

My name is Jimmy and I DON' T have a problem. This is my first post, and will try posting at least once a day. My current project is a " green" tank. 40g. breeder, 50 lbs. of LR, 2 Remora Pro skimmers, 2 Hydor Evos on timers, 4 T5 daylight, T8 actinic, and a Marineland LED 36 in. The skimmers are the only devices run 24 hours, everything else on timers. I keep softies and stonies, and a few fish and inverts.

I've done numerous water changes usually every fortnight. ...
Here are a bunch of new photos of my tank and corals. Not all the corals as you can see from the FTS. ;-) ...

Not much progress on the 150 build due to some changes in my life recently. But here's some updates. First, here's a shot of the brace in the center of the tank. I can't seem to eliminate the cloudyness, I'm even tried polishing it out with Flitz with no effect. It's about 2' wide so I'm always going to have a lower light area in the center of this tank. I ordered a pair of overflow kits from ...
