SO this will be my first reef tank. have about 20 fresh water tanks in my house mostly in a fishroom. but i've been collecting parts and doing some other diy stuff to get ready. but assembly should start tommrow if all goes well.

Setup:
20in Deep Blue Cube
Eshopps Overflow
10 Gallon Sump, just going basic to start no baffels. going to have a bit of cheato in there with a light.
ATO from autotopoff.com
Light is DIY. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2661770
Stand I had a nice custom one made for this tank plus a matching hightech planted tank.
got 31lb of rock from reefcleaners, and going to pick up a couple bags of aragonite tommrow after work.

some pics of stand and me playing with rock aquascaping while I wait for the paint to dry on the tank background.

Hey man, yea I've got a Deep Blue 20" rimless that I picked up used and refurbished myself. Link is in my signature, the thread is a bit long but we have fun over there. I love your stand. Interested to see your DIY solution to lighting.
