I feel like I've been working on this forever... the sad part is all the really hard work is now hidden. There's some elaborate plumbing going on under that thing.

Hopefully the cloudiness will vanish soon. I literally just finished filling it up tonight.

There is just a light sprinkling of CarribSea Sunset Gold sand I need to even out.

I gots me some wood and some a few rocks I will add tomorrow and get this sucker cycled.

It's almost 200 gallons of fun :)

Looking great there even if it's void of fishes at the moment; loved how you placed the clock above the tank. :)

Tank was made by Lee Mar... The filter system is not all that tricky. There were two holes drilled each side of tank that feed directly into two Eheim filters. One filter is the Bio the other has a built in heater and is mainly just water polish and some Purigen. What's kewl is I can drain that sucker in just a few minutes. There is a pump underneath that runs when I flip open a bypass and it starts to drain the water.

AquaticLife - I have a smaller one on another tank and it has no fans. This one has fans and to be honest it's not as quiet as I would like.

I went through the LFS I don't think they sell direct... I was not able to find any direct contact info.

Sorry...
