Hey Kim.

Thanks for the nice comments.

The below items are custom built by Tropical Haven in Chorpus Christi Tx.
180 Gallon Acrylic Reef Ready, Refugium, Ca Reactor, Skimmer, Fresh water Topoff Tank, Stand and Canopy.
So there is no model# on anything. Sorry. The only thing they did not make under the stand are Pumps and the Co2 tank with regulator.

I will measure the dimensions for you and post them here.

Ok. The stand is 40 inches high and the canopy is 18 inches high. The tank is a standard 6ft x 2ft x 2ft ..

Oh. the lighting has changed a little as well. I do not run the MH's any more. I added another 3 bulb 660 VHO. So now I have 2 icecap 600's with 6 60inch bulbs. 1 daylight, 2 50/50, 2 actinics, 1 super actinic. And I kept the T5's for moonlighting.
