I started building and thought I'd share
some pictures of my 72 Gallon Bow Front.

I plan to make it a mix of corals and some fish.

I added some extra boards to mount timers, etc to.

So what are your overall plans for the system? I will bew tagging along to see how it progresses.

Good luck with your new build.

Overall plans are for a mix of corals and some fish.

I have a 6 T-5 Light (Nove Extreem Pro)
I ordered up the pumps, sand, salt etc yesterday.

Now for the hardest part...waiting on the cycle! I'll be following along as well. I like the idea on mounting the wood boards for timers etc., but was wondering if it might limit you in space for a skimmer down the road. Actually never mind, I now see that the boards are attached to the rear of the cabinet!
