Looks very nice! Are you able to remove the skimmer for cleanings? Looks tight :)

Can anyone guess what this contraption will be used for? Hint I got the idea from a fellow R2R member.

You got it!!! I'll be setting it up tonight. I've taken a note from ChristopherKriens I'm going for a similar look on a different scale. Thank you Chris for the great inspiration!!!

Thank you! The only down fall on this tank is the size of the overflow box. It takes up way to much room.

Thank you! It's a color we have used in various areas of the house.

We have Salty Water!!! The water is still a little cloudy, but that will clear up soon. The island rock came out just as I wanted it to. Had plenty of space on all side and top for coral growth. I'd really like to go all SPS on this rock with maybe a large clam in the center cavity. The left side is just a pile of dry rocks that I had hanging around. I'll be transferring most of my live rock from my bio-cube. All of it will be going on the left side. I want to have a lot of room for fish to swim and corals to grow.

Top down of the island. Lots of room on all side :)

I couldn't be more pleased with the look of this tank in my living room. By the end of the year I expect it will be starting to take on its full shape.
