I'm working on it bro. The tank will be done by the end of this month, the custom metal stand and aluminum light rack will be done 2 weeks later.

Some update:

I try to come up with some drawing so John can do the stand and canopy for me. I will have the float canopy instead of enclosed to help with the heat.

Here is the floor layout, i have 3 options but i go with option 2 because i don't want the MH to interfere with the TV.

That's what I am talking about-looks good Steve, real professional job. Hey get him to knock down those top corner edges also,they tear up your arms if not when servicing the tank-4- wave boxes are gonna splash water out, good surf in Colorado.

I think that is a great idea but will you be able to handle both system as far as maintenance. You new volcano will be able to handle them both as well as Ca reactor. I would turn that tank into a nice LPS and softies tank with lots of fish :D. Your volume will be much larger and your tank will be more stable. If i have the room, i would do it.

I am working with the guy to build the template and 4 boxes for you. Will send it your way once it ready.... I have couple electronic ballast you can use on the 450g :D
