Right so this is my new tank made by a lovely little company in England called ND aquatics , I'll be posting pictures up as I go , so far I haven't done much bar slap the light unit I have on it just to have a look at what it's like as the ****** bags installed my sump in backwards to my weir , due to how it's braced inside I'm unable to just turn the sump around , but anyways here's the pics I have so far.

Oh I forgot to add haha this is about a 340 litre tank measuring 3ft x 2ft x 2ft , my lighting unit is an arcadia Classica 3ft (which I personally really really really like haha) and will be running a fluvel sea 7500 lph sump return pump , I know it seems over kill by a huge amount but I'll need it with what I will be doing , wait and see haha :)
 
Thanks guys , as I said I will keep it all up to date when I get more stuff done , and that sump will be stop on when I manage to get it turned around haha
 
Right dudes I'm going to apologies beforehand but I ran into a few problems and in the midst of sorting them out I completely forgot to take step by step pictures and update this so here's a picture of my tank now it's finished and I hope you all like it :)
 
Looks great! How did you overcome the sump issue? I'm so glad I had doors installed on both ends of my stand so removing the sump/ATO container/etc is easy.

More pics as you progress please!
 
Basically mate I just tuck the tank off the stand and rested it on it's back , tuck out all the screws holding the middle support in and removed it, turned the sump around and then put it all back together , only tuck about 20 mins start to finish , it's just little touch up bits now like the pipe leading from my return pump needs cutting down so it dosent bend as much when I join it back onto the solid PVC pipe , but thank you for the compliments , it's not been aqua scaped at all yet all I have done is pile live rock around some I had for my previous tank to seed it again , when that's done I'll scape it all and start sticking some corrals in ;)
