So here's my tank progress.

Tank's an all glass custom size. Initially I wanted to go with a 24" cube, but then decided on this, since there wasn't a price difference between the two .
Tank size is 36w X 24d X 24h. gives me about 90 g. I went with this size cause I like the added height and depth the tank has. There is about 120 lbs of live rock in the tank, (Doesn't look like it, but the tank is bigger in person than it looks on the pic)..
Sand I used has a grain of .5 - 1.5

The sump/fuge is a 37 gallons, 24w x 20d x 18h.
center area is being used as a fuge with a DSB, I put about 7" of sand, waiting for the order of cheato to come in.

The lighting, (which was installed this weekend) is a custom build I did, which has 2X 250 watt MHs, and 2 39w T5 atinics. I gotta change the fans around cause it gets quite hot under there, and I can only keep the hood open so it doesn't overheat.
Right now everything is running very smoothly, I've got tons of copepods running around. I left the tank running for about 5 months before putting a single fish in it.
Parameters are all at zero. Last week I started stocking the tank, finally (pics to come) .
So far, in there, I got
1X foxface 2"
1X yellow Wrasse 1 1/2"
1X six line wrasse 1 1/2"
1X dragonette (often confused for a scooter blenny) red.
Updates to come.
Comments are welcome.
Thank you,
