Cabinets finally went in and will get stained next week...two weeks to move in and I still need to do a crap-ton of plumbing on a tank that will be turning over, roughly 5000 gallons per hour.

This is gonna look incredible..can't wait to see it filled!

Saw you mentioned doing a fowlr so you dont have a need for coral sustaining LEDs..have you looked at the current USA orbit marine lights? They're fairly new so I'm not sure there's a ton of info out there but they're fully controllable 1W (I believe) LEDs..if I was gonna run a fowlr with LEDs I'd definitely look into them..good luck!

You can have some amazing show fish with a tank this big for them to swim in.
