do you run both tanks off the same sump?
No, two complete separate systems. The small tank is an Innovative Marine Nuvo Black 30 gallon that I drilled and it runs through a small DIY sump with an Icecap skimmer. Yesterday I installed an ATI dimmable sunpower T-5 over it. The big tank is a Planet Aquariums 200 gallon, you can see the sump on that one. It has the Aquaticlife hybid with 3 AI Primes that I had from the previous system.

I like the 30 a long with the big one. I did forget to say, great job on the stand.:)
 
beautiful - as a FAN of woodworking but not into the craft yet - i absolutely appreciate the end results here.
I am in the phase of collecting tools and making basic things/tables. Preparing for the ultimate goal - my next reef's stand.

I am a huge fan of @urbaneks - Brad - and his stand for the 280G or so that he did before his current trio. That is my inspiration for the stand i am planning and i hope to make him proud once i am ready to start a build thread. Again - great job everyone and love your work and craftsmanship.
 
Here’s another project I am just about done with. It’s been in the works a while but I’m happy it’s down to just finishing touches. I need go hang one more light and buy a few door knobs. I didn’t realize how different it was until I saw my before picture.

That turned out well.

That looks great Kevin. Reminds me of my foyer I redid.
 
Sapele king pedestal bed with matching night stands
Orlando-20130403-00002.jpg .....

Jeff, that bedroom set is absolutely beautiful. I've never heard of Sapele before, but will definitely check my hardwood guy next time I'm in. Most of my work has been in oak.

And Kevin @kschweer , what you're doing is one of the reasons my woodworking/furniture building has been reduced to a minimum......house projects!!!

And @Dual40IM , your bar project reminded my of my most recent build.....a pallet bar....this past summer. What was great about this build was that all the wood was free (across the street neighbor received a swing set/play set, and I got the eight foot pallet), and my wife wanted it as rustic as possible, so no carefully picking boards, sanding or fancy finishing.

I have a lot of house projects in my future. They are long overdue. Hoping to move into the kitchen soon.

I really like the bar too!

Paul...love me some pallet wood. I've made a bunch of stuff from old pallets. And as you said, you can't beat the prices!!!!
 
I eat saw dust for a living doing custom woodwork and fine carpentry and everybody thinks my house must be amazing but the last thing I want to do when I’m not in the shop or out on a job is work on my home. And having two little kids it’s hard to make dust until one in the morning like I use to, which is why I set up my fish tank. Thinking as a family we can all enjoy something together but now I find myself playing in saltwater until one in the morning once everyone is asleep. As for woodworking if it’s made of wood I can build it or sure try and if it wasn’t for having a tree house as a kid and my high school shop teacher I don’t think I’d be where I am today. Here’s a sample of one of the many things I build with wood. 7608FC3F-B91D-4A67-B7F5-40D04A29A148.jpeg

That's simply beautiful!

Beautiful!! The talent on this forum never ceases to amaze!
 
@Rglad91 , we'll have to have a horse race. :D You've given me a deja vu moment. 33+ years ago I built a similar rocking horse for our two girls...around 2 and 4...for Christmas. Took a fair amount of time and the wife and I were all excited about how they'd take to their new horse. Well, Christmas morning they ran right by the monstrosity, and the only time they went on it was if we asked. And here it sits....for the past 33 years....in the rafters of my garage. :(

Since I have some pictures of it, here is my latest project. It's a farmhouse dining table with breadboard ends. Nothing fancy design or wood wise. I'm using this as a prototype. I decided to use dowel joinery so not a screw in the thing, other than the table top fasteners. Now comes the fun part...sanding and staining.
