Hey Everyone,
I recently built and moved into, hopefully, my "forever" home and decided to get back into the hobby again. I ordered the tank itself exactly 4 weeks ago, through my LFS, and have been collecting "parts" for the build over the last month while I wait. Here's what I have so far:

Planet Aquarium 142 gallon tank. (72"x18"x25") w/Crystal Front Glass, Black Silicone, Internal Overflow, Black Background--On Order

Bashsea Signature Series 48" 4 chamber sump-Blue

Bashsea 10 gallon ATO Tank-Blue

Custom Oak stand with canopy. Canopy routed for 3 Radion XR-30's.

(3) Radion Gen 5 XR-30 lights.

(2) Fluval SP4 return pump. (1 is a spare)

(1) Tunze Osmolator 3155 ATO

(1) Pentair 25W UV

(1) Simplicity 1600 DC pump for UV

(2) Ecotech MP-40 wavemakers

(1) Neptune EB8232 Energy Bar

(1) Bubble Magus Curve 7 Skimmer

I'll update with pics as things progress!
