Noah's 57 Edge Rimless

[Noahp]

Hey everyone school is winding down and summer is starting up so I thought it was time to share my newest project. So far this has been very challanging simply because of the envisionment I had for this tank since it will be the last one ( I hope ) I will be building before I head out to college. Therefore I am taking my time to make this the very best it can be,a tank I can look at and be proud of. So here is goes
Tank: 57 gallon Rimless Edge by Deep Blue
Sump: 20 long with two sections
ATO: Custom built by a local Reefer
Refugiums: 2 10"x6" glass tanks
Skimmer: Asm G3 with mods
Lighting: 24 cree leds from Rapid LED
Flow: Mag 7 return supplemented with Koralias

This is one of the refugiums I am building.

Much more to come soon!

Looks like you're off to a good start! What do you plan on keeping?

very nice start looking forward to seeing you progress through your build

Nice build, why did you go with 2 fuges, instead of one big one?

I was wondering the same thing as out seems 2fuges might complicate things.good luck

Updates!
Stand is nearly completed!

Trim after cut and painted

Being put on the stand

Nailed and glued

Cut out for display fuge (The trim/door is a picture frame my moms idea turned out very well in my opinion)

(inside painted black to make it look cleaner then it is!)

Now to answer the questions this is going to be a mixed reef everything from my 40 breeder will be transfered over (Anemones, LPS, SPS, Softies, Zoas, Fish, inverts, so on and so forth.) Not sure about the fuges thinking upside down jellys since they can be housed in regular tanks acording to what I have read and there is no need for rock in a fuge. I'd love suggestion for what to keep in there!
The reason for two fuges was simply aesthetic because I wanted to have the two diplays below my main tank I have never seen two built into a stand and thought it would look nice so far I think it's turning out well.
Let me know what you all think suggestions are always welcomed, as you know I want the very best and will not deny any help in achieving this goal!

Got everything moved last week some updated pictures. It took a while luckily I had a friend help me move everything. (Still took two days) Here are some pics of it coming along.

Everyone has seen a room like this!

The stand turned out great, Noah! Very unique and the embellishments on the front corners look awesome. Do you plan to leave the sump area open or add a door or panel?

Looks like it's coming along great. How far out does the overflow come out? I'm picking one up tomorrow. It feel like Christmas Eve and seeing your tank is getting me more excited.

Thanks guys! Mike&Terry I'm glad you like the corner peices it was a spur of the moment idea and I'm very pleased with how it turned out! I will be adding a door at some point just not enough time to get around to it yet! The overflow extends roughly 7X10 inches just a visual guess doesnt take up to much space. Can't wait to see your build! The tank really is neat the edges are all clean no messy silcone!
