Looking good so far. I like the mega flow design. I'm sure you'll move the guitar out of the way before filling?

Ya, the guitar will be moved, just put it there for now until I can find a place for it.

Looks like a great start. Is that a dual overflow? It looks like it. I have a 90g and I wish it had a dual overflow. It should really help with surface agitation etc...

I like the guitar. What brand/model is it? Does it get much use? I have one that mostly sits now that I have the tank.

Yes, it is a dual megaflow overflow. I think each overflow is rated for around 600 GPH.

The guitar is a les paul, I used to use it quite a bit, but then the saltwater hobby came in.

jdm, I sent you a PM just a little while ago too.

How about some more pics of the guitar?? Get some Seymour Duncan "Pearly Gates" pickups, practice 12 hours a day, and before you know it, you'll be swapping guitar solo's with Warren Haynes! Oh wait, that's MY fantasy.....



I'm actually impressed with the AGA canopy. Looks pretty well designed for a store bought unit.

Thanks for the comments all, I can get more pictures of the guitar if you want, I will post more when I get more set up, need to go get some PVC to hook the sump up.

Sorry for some late replies, thanks for more comments and NanoCube-boy, yes it is All-Glass-Aquarium, the whole set up, both tanks, stand, and canopy.

It will be next week when I get the PVC plumbing done, then I will fill with sand and get the water in it.

I decided to cycle this one instead of transfering it in a day because I don't want to lose the current reef I have running.

More pictures in a week or so.
