I've been running the tank for a little over two years and am pretty happy with the tank overall. Nothing too fancy, but then the introduction of BCP kind of took the wind out of my sails. I plan to eradicate the BCP in 2014. Here are some pictures of the tank from my iPhone:

Love it. Looks nice!
 
what does your sump look like?
what size is your tank?

The tank dimensions are 72" x 24" x 24"

There is not much to the sump at the moment. I run flex tube instead of hard PVC plumbing. I recently removed the rock rubble form the center chamber as I found it to be a detritus trap. Sump contains skimmer, GFO and a bag of carbon.

Great looking tank! It looks like it has been a sucessful 2 years because there is some serious mature growth in there.

Thanks, things have recently really started to take off. Wish I could find something to crowd out Blue Cloves.
 
Beautiful tank! Can I ask what lights you have used since starting the tank?
