It is a 60g tank, with a 44g DIY sump. The sump/refugium is actually larger than any openings. The refugium is on the left, the sump is on the right. There is full under stand lighting, ATO, and a water changer...(the green thing on the side of the stand.)
The eggcrate strainer on the fuge is removable for cleaning. The spray bar in the fuge is turnable, hopefully I will be able to get the Cheato to rotate. I will have a 5100k CF light on it. (Haven't mounted the fixture yet.
The pumps are hung from the stand, with High Density Foam between the clamps. They are dead silent.

Thank you for supporting your plumbing:) Drives me crazy to see these huge tanks with pipes flopping around waiting to be snapped off..
Nice work.

Thanks, I'm kind of OCD about it. I will post some new pictures of the back. I didn't like the way the wires "Flopped" around...So...I added a board to the back so that I could arrange the wiring a little better. I'll post pictures when it's complete.
