Lighting
is 48" Custom Sea Life power compacts with moonlights. There are 2-65
watt 10,000k daylight bulbs, 2-65 watt actinics and 4-1 watt moon
lights. This gives me 4.7 watts per gallon. The lights were
obtained from Marine Depot for $285. The price includes shipping. I
Love the ripple effect on the bottom of the tank when only the
moonlights are on.

Life Reef VS2-24 Protien Skimmer
This skimmer is one of the best I've seen.
The folks at Life Reef really make some nicely crafted stuff.
The pump powering the skimmer is a RIO 2500.

This
is a modification I made to the u-tube to keep the tank from flooding
in the event of a power outage. I simply drilled a hole in the top of
the u-tube and connected an air line to the venturi of a Hagan power
head. If the siphon breaks in the u-tube when the power goes out, the
power head will pull all of the air out of the tube when the power
comes back on restarting the siphon.

The
noise from the overflow box was absolutely the most annoying thing in
the world. So after doing a little research, I found the solution to
the constant toilet flushing sound that it made. In the drain line from
the overflow box to the sump I placed a simple 1" ball valve. (from
Home Depot) By restricting the flow to the sump slightly the water
level in the back of the overflow box keeps the bulkhead submerged and
the is no more air introduced into the drain line.

The
stand is a DIY made from plans found on the GARF website. The only
modification made to this design is the shell of the stand is a three
sided piece that removes from the stand for more complete access to the
sump and equipment.
More pictures will be posted soon as the stand is not yet finished. Too much money spent on getting things for the tank.
