Billy, it all came from Wharf aquatics and the tank, stand and sump cost me £1200.
I am going to make a few changes, they fill both weirs and the trickle tower in the sumpo with bio balls, they may well be going and have a durso in the weirs

If you upload the pics to the member galleries 1st you should then be able to insert more than one pic to each post using the img tags.

I really did want to keep this thread updated with every step of progress but i just never seemed to have the time. Here is one pic before i added the fish and corals just to give you an idea of the finished result.

really nice looking tank and stand :)

i like the idea if having the glass covers on part of the sump, but i imagine it could be quite annoying.

Andrew, it can be every so slightly annoying at times, mainly when i empty the skimmer cup and the skimmer falls forward so the cup wont just drop straight back on, but it was a compromise, the wife is worried about the cabinet getitng wet and mouldy etc and having to replace it in a couple of years because lets face it, it would be a nightmare....
