Recently I completely tore down, sterilized and restarted my 850 Gallon 14' Reef Tank. The tank had been set up for 17 years, it just started to become a nuisance and rarely looked good, I believe it was suffering form Old Tank Syndrome. I'm going to post a couple of pics, then I'll start a step by step process blog on this very extensive rebuild.

Jokes up bud. I can clearly see from the picture you're projecting an 'image' of a tank against a wall. You should have photoshopped the ceiling out of that picture.
