I started with a Waterbed 35.2 Build, but quickly realized it was not going to be big enough for what I want to accomplish. Thread located here.
I have since ordered a Waterbox Peninsula 4820 and it is currently being shipped. This is about as big as I can fit in my current living arrangements, so don't be surprised if you see an upgrade of both in about. a year lol.. I have done a little shopping so far:

Oh, this is going to be sweet!
 
That's a nice cash dump....man, usually I just wait and see with hardware. Sometimes a big tank needs very little in the way of reactors and the doo dads. I'm a big fan of KISS. But I'm excited for you and will be watching!

My, my, my my goodness! :)
 
Wow looks similar to what I have currently going on good look I will be following....
 
Assembled the skimmer today, and mounted the two MP40s on the overflow wall, one on each side of the overflow box.

Also got an OctoAquatics Sump Baffle. I think I am going to scrap the Algae reactor and have a small traditional style Fuge by dividing the sump chamber in half.

Trying to assemble a Manifold to run the UV and reactors. The piece just arrived so I can tie into the existing Waterbox metric style plumbing. Luckily I started my search weeks ago for the piece I needed.
 
Been eyeing the 4820 for a while now, excited to see how it turns out :)
 
very nice tank!
So you selling your 35.2 aio? lol
 
Been busy with work so havent had as much time to play around with it as i would like. I got some base rock to place on the bottom, fresh live sand and the rock and transferred all the fish/inverts over and most of the snails i could easily grab. still need to switch my last hydra32 to the new tank but she is up and running.
