New Tank Pics
Here is my new tank, built by Bob (jg24) with

The tank is 4'x4'x9" tall. Made with 1" acrylic sides and 3/8" bottom. It has dual 1.5" overflows. The holes on the back are for a closed loop and the four holes in front are for the return fed by a sequence dart:

Jake were they local to you? Twin Cities by chance? Or was it shipped to you?
Just curious, gotta plan for the future.

oh, now that is nice to know. When the time comes, I could make a swing through there when I visit the folks in the future.
So will the tank be a coral only tank? or will you keep a few fish in there too?

There will be a trio of 6 line wrasses or something to care of any pests that might come in. Otherwise it will be exclusively corals and snails.

Nice. will it be bare bottom for the tank, and everything else (sand, etc) in the
sump ? Or will you have a thin layer of sand in the tank? sorry if I'm getting ahead of the game will all my questions.
