--- Onto the build thread ---

I picked up a CADE 1200 Peninsula tank as a wedding gift to myself, and as a downsize from our massive 400g 8ft tank that I can no longer maintain due to a bad leg.

Here's the tank in place, it serves as a divider between our kitchen and dining area.

I moved all the fish, rock and sand from our old tank in one go - took the better part of the day but I wanted to get the old tank drained ASAP.

Quick photo of the tank on it's first night set up.

That's all for now. I'll come back and update with an equipment and livestock list soon

A few shots of the tank last night after adding a few new pieces.

Yellow tang we've had for about 3 years

Acro frag added a few days ago

Planning on building a hammer garden around this guy

This fungia was going cheap at our LFS and I couldn't pass up the colour of it

Very nice, how do you like the tank and sump design? Considering this tank as an upgrade

I like it a lot, I'll post some photos of the way I've got the sump setup.

Time for a quick sump tour - this tank has been a dream to setup equipment in.
