Building my 75 gallon. What do you think?

[ziggyboy3d]

Hey you guys, our 29 gallon is starting to get a little small and everything is starting to grow too big! So we decided to sell off a few of our other aquariums and build a 75 gallon reef! We have been building it from the ground up and just wanted to see what you think! The stand cost me 100 bucks for all construction material, wood, stain, and polyurethane. We designed it to stick out from the wall so that it is viewable on 3 sides. It will be drilled in the side that will be against the wall in one of the smaller pieces of glass. Im also building my own 29 gallon sump with an octopus skimmer and quietone return pump. Lighting is an odyssey 48" metal halide fixture with two 250W MH, attenic t5s, and blue led moon lights totaling 760W. Im replacing the ballast with an ice cap ballast and the odyssey lights with phoenix 14ks which is what I have on my current 29 gal set up and love! I built my own towers of base rock from macrorocks.com using quikrete's quikwall and plan to seed it from my 29 gallons live rock. Im also going to use the quikwall to cover the back glass and the bulkheads/ overflows with rock. Just waiting on the bulkheads to arrive so I can start drilling! cross your fingers for me and let me know what you think!

Thanks Blue! No not bare bottom just making it easy to take apart to drill.
