I'm in Cincinnati too. Jen and Jeremy are great! We're lucky to have such a great store here. Build looks great. One minor thing... Just noticed in the pics that the return plumbing might need a slight adjustment. The pipes are not angled down towards the sump. They look like they are angled the wrong direction. Very quick, easy fix. I worry if u leave it like it is you might have sluggish flow in your drain lines.

Appreciate the feedback. Are you talking about the lines going to the sump or returning to the tank?

To the sump. The drains look like they are angled backwards a bit. Unless it's just the picture?

Had a real busy weekend. Added the remaining amount of live rock that was still in my original tank, transferred all corals, transferred all fish, took down my original tank with the help of a couple friends (Thanks Clint and Rick). Let me know what you think of the aquascape.
This weekend I also purchased a Interuptus Angel from Among The Reef. Came in absolutely beautiful. Jordan from Among The Reef was very easy to work with. This is actually the second fish I got from him. The first was a Bandit angel that is doing great. Highly recommend using him if your looking for something special.

Hey everyone! Long overdue for an update. Below is the finished product of the tank. I went back n forth on how I wanted to finish the front. Finally decided on this and I'm glad I did. It's pretty simple but matches the décor in my room perfectly. The top piece actually comes off so I have access to the front of the tank. Makes it easy to get in and adjust corals, feed fish as well as cleaning front pane of tank.
