Time for a new build thread! Totally stoked on this build because this was a dream build I have always had in mind but never was in the position to make it come true. This will be a slow thread at the moment but things will sure to speed up as time goes on. Glass has been ordered and build should commence here shortly. Estimated time of completion May?

Tank: Reef Savvy (custom 150 gallon peninsula style) Dimensions 48"x36"x20" .75" glass black silicone braceless trimless. 24" Ghost Overflow
Skimmer: will be up grading to a ATB 1050
Lights: 3 ft Reef Brite Halide Hybrid 2x250 watt Radiums supplemented with blue LED's.
Stand: Custom build by me and my dad :)

And so the stand/cabinet begins. Tank stand dimensions will be 50"x38"x32" Will have 2xcabinet doors may go for a third door on the front panel of the cabinet. Purchased a Kreg Jig to create pocket holes for strong flush joints. Looks great and very simple.

Looking awesome so far Andy can't wait to see the tank in person. When you get home with it give me a call if I am in town I will come give you a hand getting it in the house. Congrats on you build.
