Picked up the tank yesterday. Cleaned it and let it soak last night. I'll update with pictures as I go.
 
Here is what I have ordered so far for the build,

Sock-It Sump Inlet Pre-filter 200 micron Repl Sock
Quiet One Pro Pump 3000
819gph.
Sock-It Sump Inlet Pre-filter 4" Single 1" inlet
SeaClone Protein Skimmer SCPS 100 (up to 100 gallons)

Deep blue pro 2, 36" stand with side door.
20gal L for a sump. Kevin is installing baffles this week. Thanks Bro!
I've cleaned it and black tinted the back glass. I must say it looks awesome!

Following, this is the exact tank upgrade I want to make. Love the rimless tanks.
 
Cool, thanks. I love the tank. It's going to look awesome with the lights over it.
Currently running a 36" CoralView 6 bulb HO T-5 fixture. I have 24 cree
3 watt XTE led's I'm going to retro fit down the center. Also going to install an algae turf scrubber in the sump.
 
Dude that tank is going to look amazing! Definately following along!

Thanks dude, I didn't go a lot bigger than what I had (35). I can use the same lights and I get to add a sump. Should be close to 70gal total volume.
 
No problem. :) that's exciting! Hope the move went well!

Still in the middle of it. Taking my time. Moving everything left after 3 weeks of gradually getting stuff to the new place on the 13th. Tank day!

Looking really nice already. Love rimless tanks. :rolleyes:
 
Hey Tony, I'm following your thread.... sooner me and you get this finished the sooner I get my new tank :)
As soon as you get me that measurement I'll start installing the baffles. Just remember I'm by no means a professional but I think you'll be happy...

I cant wait to start on that light as well :)
I guess I'll start a build thread on my new tank... Well soon to be new tank. Thanks again bro and I'm sure Hoppy the tree frog is gonna love that odd skyscraper of a tank you gave me for him... especially the waterfall. He's gonna be living better than I do

That's awesome that you have that option! Hope all goes well and of course I'll probably be silently creeping for a while. Lol.
 
Update, move went well. Lost a beautiful milli and my purple firefish. Always risks when moving a tank. It's fully operational now. Algae scrubber went online the 17th and already has some brown algae growth. Parameters are all good. A mandarin dragonett is in my near future.

This morning.
