Time for the upgrade..
tank is Leemar Built 48x30x18tall eurobraced.
8x54w bulb T5 Retro fit kit driven to Spec
Skimmer SWC160 (until I upgrade to ATB)
I'll be using Zeovit for Nutrient reduction, I also Built my Zeovit reactor..
Flow will be 2 Vortechs MP40w ES..

I got the tank a couple of months ago, built my stand and started the tank, 2 days after getting water in it, I put the lights on only to see that the tank had a chip with a small hairline Crack, I contacted Leemar and they took care of me.. I picked up the tank last weekend and got it back up and running...


Day 4 of the 14day Zeovit cycle...

Beautiful, glad they took care of you. I really like that scape, what do you plan on keeping?
 
Any LPS going in this one? if so I can try to help[ out with some stuff.... been picking up a lot lately, but I told my self I'm only going to let myself buy the must haves until I get the new tank going.
 
Looking great! Where did you get your rock from?
the rock is from Marco Rocks..

LOL test frags? Those look like test colony's compared to most!

Your sump is very clean! What do you use for a return pump?
 
Return is a Maxijet utility pump 5500, This also feeds my zeovit reactor and also used for extra flow in the sump, you can see that to the right of the zeovit reactor, this is to keep junk suspended so the skimmer can suck it up...
