Figured I may as well do a new thread.
As some of you know my last tank, 150g Peninsula (see my signature), decided to spring a leak.
2 hectic days off work later I have my new tank, a brand new 140g (roughly) bowfront tank.


Equipment-
Behind the wall sump- 65gal
Schuran Jetskim 150
Bio Pellets
Carbon
GFO
BRS dosers, CA and ALK
MAG 18 return to a 3/4'' sea swirl
2 wp40's
1 tunze

Lighting is a 3 - 250w mh w 10k bulbs, and 4 - 24w pc compacts.- im going to upgrade to t5 sooner than later.


All the corals and fish are from my previous tank, and a few were purchased just before the tank leaked.
Fish
Naso tang
Yellow tang
Powder Blue tang
Radiant Wrasse
2 Red Leopard Wrasse
Cleaner Wrasse
5 Dispar Anthias
Yellow tail Damsel
Mandarin dragonet

1 Scarlet Cleaner
1 Blood shrimp

Large amount of sps and lps corals.

Thanks guys..  I like having 2 drains in stead of one on my old tank. This style for me, a simple stand pipe with a strainer is very effective and some how silent, I've talked to a few people who don't believe me, but somehow this drain style is very quiet!

Got my mag18 full blast.

yea was something i wish i had time to do.
my wall behind the tank is blue, so im hoping i can make it work, if not, i did leave alot of room so i can easily place one of those fish store black back grounds behind it.

As the others said, looks great!!  Shame about the previous tank but I think you may have come out ahead.  Really amazing looking setup, love the stand, and the rimless w/ floating light looks slick.  Best of luck with this new tank!

Nicely done.  Given the time constraint and emergency situation especially, I think you should be very very happy with the result!

I would be concerned with a cycle you may want to slowly interduce the corals, just a thought

Didn't really have a choice lol.
But looking ok so far.
