I have always wanted to have a saltwater tank and this year I decided it was time to make this happen. With the support of my wife we picked out a 150 gallon tank with a custom built stand and top.

Tank - 150 Gallon Aquarium Master
Sump - 40 Gallon Aquarium Master
Stand - Custom Made Locally
Canopy - Custom Made Locally

I will update this with more information when I get the Chance. Tank has finally finished cycling and we have added a few Shrimp and Fish to the tank.

Here are some pictures of the tank.

This picture was right after I installed the 2 Ocean Revive T247-B LED lights.


Here is a picture of the whole setup with loaner lights still installed but gives an idea of the stand and canopy.


Here is a picture below the tank with the Sump, Protien Skimmer, and return pump.



Currently in the tank are 1x - Sea Urchin, 1x - Starfish, 2x - Bangai Cardina, 7x - Blue/Green Chromis, 1x - Purple Fire Fish, 1x - Fire Shrimp, 1x - Cleaner Shrimp, 10x - Blue Leg Hermits, 1x - Emerald Crab, 2x - Snails (Hitch Hikers not sure what they are)
 
Skimmer so far is working great. I had a friend who has been in the hobby for many years help me out with the equipment.
 
Very nice start!
