Not much I can add but your tank must be such a joy to watch each day. Your aquascape is amazing and the photography skills are excellent. Can't wait to see more from you and your tank. I've not had much success just yet but am determined and taking it slow. It's great for me to live vicariously through you and this is very inspiring.

Hi,

Is that a custom made tank by Miracle or just a mass production tank?
Can you show a picture of the overflow?

thanks

The tank is a custom rimless tank with 1/2" glass all around. If am not mistaken there standard 110 gallon tank is made out of 3/8" with black trim.

I will try to find a picture of the overflow.

Loving the effect the T5s have had on your coral color.. Have you noticed the growth formations changing under T5s as well?

Your FTS progression photos are really cool. Love the way you did those.

Really like the full cabinet shot too. The cabinet is gorgeous. Just really shows off your whole tank.
Your attention to detail in your whole tank presentation is amazing really.

As per the FTS this is always a nice way to see how far you have gone with the system.

I just wanted a simple cabinet that would not takeaway from the tank!

Thanks for the kind words HHIreefer843!!!! really sorry about the late reply.

the main structure of the tank is 2X4 and then i just skinned it with 5/8" cabinet grade plywood.

I don't have a lot of photos of the construction stage but this should give you an idea how the structure of the system was put together.
