Finally...
...the 125 system is up and running.
The stand and canopy were built by my step father. The stand is welded steel tube with an oak veneer. It matches the kitchen almost perfectly.

Awsome aquascapeing Matt! I love the tower of live rock in the center. How did you do that? Any special steps? What are you using for a return pump? Lastly tell your step father he did a nice job on the stand and canopy.

Matt,
I like the interesting way you stacked the rocks in the forth picture. Also, the stand and canopy are really nice. So, moving the 55...does that mean you will have tankS by any chance?

I got the idea from a tank Anthony Calpho built but I couldn't make the table as wide as I wanted because the structure is too top heavy. I'm planting monti cap's around the edge of it in order to encourage it to widen. The return pump is a sequence hammerhead attached to an ocean's motions squirt. The squirt currently cycles between two sets of return lines with two penductors each. I have the other lines capped off with ball valves I will be adding at least two more penductors. Quote:

I would love to see pic s of the stand. I am more interested in the welds and how it was done. Ideas for how I might build one.

Tank is looking awesome. Massive skimmer, 220V return pump to help reduce tha good ole utility bill... Massive plumbing through out. The stand & canopy were built with great attention to detail.
Whisper quiet upstairs! I like the simplicity of service with this setup. Its home for a future great monthly meeting. A Job well done Matt.

Thanks all, for the compliments. I will host a meeting soon, but I would like to see some of my corals start to take hold before I do that.
The old 55gal moved in (with Kris's help, Thanks Kris) and now houses a 6" DSB and a bale of Chaeto Calcium reactor will be going in soon, I need to get a washer for the CO2 regulator. -Matt

Yep thats the one, I got half a tank of gas and no washer. I'll need to pick one up on Saturday. What are you using for a feed pump on your Ca reactor?
