It's been a number of months since I got my tank up and running and I finally sat down and put together some info and pics. For those of you who don't know the story, you can read all about the tank itself in the thread link in my sig. Nearly done with my algae cycles and slowly starting to add to my coral collection. Some things aren't in their final positions yet and I have some frags I need to get rid of.

I'm keeping the details brief but if you have any questions about anything, just ask. As far as tank specs go, it is a 39G rimless from CADLights with a small in-cabinet sump and tiny refugium. The lights are the Ecoxotic Panorama fixture with additional 453 blue and blue/magenta Stunner strips and an EcoPico LED strip for moonlighting. There is a cover on the tank that I made with 1/4" acrylic and black mesh screen. Everything is controlled with an APEX Jr including auto top off float switches and a water sensor under the tank. The electronics, supplies and water reservoir are housed in a cabinet that I made.

Great job on the Tank and setup. The aguascaping is real nice. Great idea with the electronics in a seperate cabinet. I did the same thing with my setup. Nice pictures too. What kind of camera did you use?

Storm

Not sure how everyone else weathered the storm but here's a shot of my tank all wrapped up in a thick blanket followed by a yoga mat. I had to turn off the generator at night to conserve gas so this helped slow down the temperature drop a bit and helped minimize the losses to just my Darth Maul zoas.
