I am setting up a 100 display from SC aquariums 48 x 24 x 20. This isn't a tank they advertise but they do stock it. I really wanted this size because I love the 24" width but I didn't want the height of a standard 120 for lighting and reach issues.

Here goes. Started with building the stand.

My wife did the antiquing paint job which actually looks kind of cool once it is all finished and put together. At least I have to say that no matter what I really think...

I went with the Skimz Monzster 201 Skimmer. I didn't really care to have a controller pump for the skimmer because I feel it is just one more thing to tinker with to try and dial in..

Here is where it all goes down..

The reeflo return pump is an animal. It is feeding my display, my fuge and I have it recirculating back into my stock tank sump to keep things moving.

For lighting I am doing an LET 4 x 54w T5 retro kit and three hydra 26's.

Had my buddy who built the stand build me the canopy as well since I'm not much of a builder myself... And another buddy of mine helped me wire it.

I might owe some favors after this is said and done......
