I'm diving in. I just purchased a used 120gal. Oceanic with corner over flows. I'm gonna tackle a home build. I'm tackling a home built cabinet, and turning a 40gal. breeded into a Berlin sump. Lol, I going from a 26gal. bowfront with all h.o.b. filtration and skimmer to this. Any and all helpful advise will be greatly appreciated. I'll post an album as the build progresses.:squigglemouth:

Looking forward to seeing this! I built my own stand for my 200 Deep Dimension. A lot less expensive than buying one and much stronger!

The main advice I could give is to make sure you plan everything out, really well, before making any purchases or starting any building!

Well,the structural part of the stand is built and I'm about ready to move it inside the house. My sump is almost ready to put underneath so I can start the planing and plumbing process. But, Does anyone have any tricks on how clean the tank? I bought it used and I would like to get the glass back to that like new luster.
