Beautiful tank! I noticed 2 things in your first couple of posts though... A check valve and a sump w a pretty high running level. Obviously this isn't your first build but when the check valve fails (And it will at some point) is there enough room in the sump for the extra water that drains back?

Thank you. I had a 120 prior to this tank and kept it running next to it while the new tank cycled. It looked so small in comparison. If you ever get the chance to go bigger I say do it.+1. But I have to say. Awesome tank! Your plumbing looks fantastic! Super jealous! I have a 120 right now and this makes me want a bigger tank.
What is the material you used to skin your tank? I need to cover mine as well, but don't want to spend a lot of money on a wood surround.
Thanks for the kind words. To answer your question about the drain back if check valve fails yes there is room for the extra water. The system was checked first without the check valve. I also do regular Maint on the valve to keep it in good shape. When it finally is no good I will replace the center portion of it. It makes it nice with the unions on each side and the fact that its clear so I can keep an eye on the flapper.

I noticed the fittings on your stand that were made for the lighting brackets. Do you have any other pics of your light stand you made? That is a super great idea. I would like to do that for our tank. I was curious, is that just round pipe with a smaller pipe that fits inside of it? and your light hangers are they square tubing with a round flange? Do all of your wires plumb up through the middle of your brackets? Super clean man... I really like.
