I started working on this build a few years ago and I'm just now getting it ready to fill, cycle, and stock. I designed and built the stand and sump/ refugium. Here are a few pics of it. I'll post more once I get it filled and start cycling. Let me know what you all think, I welcome any comments.

Impressive! Very impressive! (read in Darth Vader voice). Welcome to R2R

I like the rock rubble in the sump. I used to take pieces out of my sump and glue them to the top of a frag plug. When the frag was ready to go in the tank I would just break the rock off of the frag plug and have a very natural attachment for the coral in the DT.

Thanks! I'm hoping it works out well. My thought was to use it as extra filtration for maximum surface area exposure. When I get it running, I'll post a video of how I have the plumbing setup.
