Hi form over the pond.
Just in the process of setting up my new tank after being out of the hobby for the last year.
Tank size is 36"x30"x 24" drilled in the corner with approx 20-25kg of live rock which has been cureing in the tank for the past 2 months, lighting is an luminarc 250 halide ( one of the best halides i think you can buy)
sump is 30"x15"x12" tank which has been divided into 4 sections.
Sump houseing the skimmer which is a tmc v2 800, heater and return pump which is an eheim 1260 which returns the water back to the main tank through a squid. main flow is done by a tunze 6060.
I know you all love pics so here's the progesssion from start to where we are now.

Looks great, the only thing i would be worried about is the power strip being so close to the sump. If the sump was to overflow it could get it wet. I would try to move it up and mount it to the wall or something.
