Hey Everyone,
I recently built and moved into, hopefully, my "forever" home and decided to get back into the hobby again. I ordered the tank itself exactly 4 weeks ago, through my LFS, and have been collecting "parts" for the build over the last month while I wait. Here's what I have so far:

Planet Aquarium 142 gallon tank. (72"x18"x25") w/Crystal Front Glass, Black Silicone, Internal Overflow, Black Background--On Order

Bashsea Signature Series 48" 4 chamber sump-Blue

Bashsea 10 gallon ATO Tank-Blue

Custom Oak stand with canopy. Canopy routed for 3 Radion XR-30's.

(3) Radion Gen 5 XR-30 lights.

(2) Fluval SP4 return pump. (1 is a spare)

(1) Tunze Osmolator 3155 ATO

(1) Pentair 25W UV

(1) Simplicity 1600 DC pump for UV

(2) Ecotech MP-40 wavemakers

(1) Neptune EB8232 Energy Bar

(1) Bubble Magus Curve 7 Skimmer

I'll update with pics as things progress!

Tank was delivered to my LFS today! Uhaul rented for Friday and extra hands hired to help me unload it and put on stand. Super excited!!
