thought I would share my current system with everyone here in an attempt to let you all know what I have already so you don't buy me duplicates for Christmas and Hanukkah.....:victory:

DT:
40 gallon long (48x12x16H)
Display is divided into two equal sections to house two bonded pairs of Snowflake clownfish

Stand:
Custom Made (by me and friend) 54x24x36H furniture grade Birch plywood cabinetry, painted in Satin White with Brushed SS/Walnut feet.
Three compartments: 27"W center for sump and two flanking 12"W sections, left for electronics and right for 5.5gal ATO reservoir
FYI...this stand was originally designed and built for a future rimless tank build and NOT this tank, so that is why you see the "DIY" looking extention to support the 40G long...please excuse it as this was an emergency transfer, not one by design...LOL

Lighting:
36" ATI Dimmable Sunpower 6X39W T5 fixture
(3)ATI B+
(1)ATI 03
(1)ATI Coral+
(1)ATI P+

Apex controller
(2)MP10wES pumps
20 gallon high sump with three chambers
SWC120 cone skimmer
Ehiem 1050 return pump
Finnex 300W titanium heater (controlled by Apex)
Reef Fanatics ATO

This tank was a "transfer" tank of my former 40B Split Window-AIO reef I had in my basement. Transfer took place in April 2013 and has recently rebounded from a user-error heater catastrophe....

so...here are some pix....feel free to comment and ask away ;)

Well first of all welcome. The clowns are awesome . What is the name of the anemone in the last picture ? One more thing , whenever your ready to frag that Goni , i will take a piece.
 
Awesome setup Craig! The stand is fantastic, and the tank is amazing!

The split setup is really a unique idea! I like it a lot!

Oh, and glad you were able to find your way over from RC lol! I've not posted there very much, just mostly observed!
 
thanks everyone.....
after 20+ years of being in (and sometimes out) of this hobby...it never gets old....just more expensive... ;)
