Now this is a 60 gallon, right?

equipment specs, livestock list, pix of sump, equipment and plumbing?
Yes, it's a 60 "DeepBlue". Running Reef Breeders Nova A4 leds.
It's more mixed reef. Here is a pic of my 55 gal sump I just set up in the basement. (need to add more rubble to fuge). I was running a 20 gal under the stand but it's too cramping for me :)

Some livestock pics: (some of these corals are my son's I'm holding for him while he finishes his build).

My Spotted Mandarin. Loves pellets and flake food...weird! That's fine with me.

Right side. Velcro this panel for easy access.

I used Minwax Polyshades. I was looking for black as a stain instead of using paint.
