Been lurking the past few days thought id get off my wrase and do an intro. Been in the hobby for going on about 4 years now . First and only tank is still running (75gal) but just picked up a new tank that I plan to setup sometime after the 1st of the year. Current setup isnt anything crazy mostly lps & softys. Anyhow onto the photos ;)

Picture of the 75gal few months back(yes the glass is dirty and my photo skills suck lol)

New tank , made by Carolina Reef Growers 150gal custom. 48x30x24 starfire 3 sides , rimless , cost to cost overflow. Plans for this tank is a good bit of flow, a lot of skimming & light.

Stand canopy sketch (Stand/canopy idea stolen from "RedEDGE2k1" on RC). You can see i'm confined to a 4ft tank in its location(due to the window). Im sure when its said and done the tank will be at more of a 50° angle to shift it over a bit.

Will do, still got a good bit of shopping to do and a few ideas tossing around , going to take my sketch to a buddy that makes cabinets tomorrow. Im good , just not good enough to make it my self heh

It opens into the opposite room, Iv slammed a few doors in my day but don't think i can get em to fold backwards :wink:
 
Welcome to R2R bro!!!
 
Tom, welcome to R2R!

Thanks for the props on the tank. We love building customs and hope you enjoy it. The idea for the cabinetry looks great. Can't wait to see it all set up.

Trigger, thanks for the positive words on our build skills.

Let me know how we can help guys!
