150 setup pics (I will take all criticism)

Water going in tonight. I still have to nipple the skimmer and I will use clamps. I also have one bulb out that will be replaced under warranty.

if i have to do take the main pump off i will have to drain the sump and cut the flex and redo it. I was tight on space down there.


The light stand is made from zero edge aquariums and was purchased through premium aquatics.

That light stand is sick, would make my wife happy as I wouldn;t have to hang anything from the cieling, but its like $200. She wouldn't be happy with that either!
