My 150dd build

a small island in the front would look awesome.
 
I plan on making a small acan island in the front but trying to figure out how to do it without it looking stupid.
 
Did you use any putty to stabilize it?

No I did not I used a few acrylic rods in a couple spots that were shaky every where else was very stable. Don't like using putty, I know it won't leach into my tank just don't feel comfortable with it. Jmo
 
Finally get to go home today after being out of town for 2 weeks for work. Hopefully will have updates to post up!
 
Quick update:
Everything seems to be coming along nicely so far. Went to lfs yesterday and picked up 6 blue/green chromis. Also got skimmer up and running and took a short video. I did find out that my skimmer was too low, when I had the sump built I had them put in the baffle at 8 inches but I didn't take in to account that if the baffle is at 8 inches the water in that section would be higher. So I added a temporary platform that I made out of egg crate till I can get a riser made. All in all everything is going great.

Can't figure out how to upload video but I will get it up as soon as I figure it out.
 
Wife just sent me a few pic's figured I would share them. I say by looking at them won't be long for corals now. Wooohooo!!

Skimmer is skimming wetter than I would like to see but it's pulling crud guess that's better than nothing!
