hi all.....i decided to post a tank build here for my tank progress .....and look for any advice ...

the setup is a 50br drilled with custom glass overflow....custom diy stand and canopy and diy sump.got a octopus recirc 150 running on it through a large fuge and panwolrd 50px return...koralia pump and a tunze nanostream 6045 ,lighting is a 36"aquatinics tx5,ReefKeeper 2

i started building this setup at the beginning of the year(2007)...took me a few months because i worked on the stand and sump a few hours a day after work....

finished....and so much more quiet....but still hear a resonating hum to it...plus it being close to the wall didnt help...
