Going to start this build from the begining, to track my progress.
My current setup is a 38 gallon with a 20 long sump sitting behind the tank, NO ROOM!, and a coralife 65 skimmer. I recently sold my biocube and purchased a beautiful 75rr with cherry "modern" stand and canopy for $250. Thank you so much Acura_Rob! There was also a sizable sump included, maybe too big. We'll see.

My current plan is to add two 250w de bulbs running on either icecaps, galaxy, or aquamedic ballast with parabolic reflectors in the hood.
Skimming accomplished by a Reef Octopus 100 or similar priced Octopus skimmer.
Currently I have a Mag 7, and a new stealth pro heater which i just replaced with two 150w rena heaters $4 each! This Sunday I plan on straight trading my two Korlia 1's for a 3, and octopus 3000l.

enough with the plan, time for action.

Step one:
Finish cleaning up the tank!

and, my wife's cat is already laying claim to the canopy.

Nice canopy! It is a sign of things to come for us picture junkies
 
Im about to move, the 75 will be started soon. There will be many many more pictures to come! figured i'd start with a few corals that i have collected. Most are from Rit.

i am unsure of the one between the eagle eyes, and the lord of the rings. also the pink one above the LOTR, is the one Rit is doing for the free overpriced frags with a catch. Not pictured are several types of mushrooms, green and pink birdsnest, nuclear green and purple death palys and a few others.
 
Finally have a chance to post a few crappy pictures. the sump is a 20L with a slow flow refugium, a mag 7, and two different heaters, the skimmer is a reef octopus 110 recirculating. Temporary lighting is a 4x39w t5ho. hopefully soon to finish my 2x250de setup.
