I finished the stand and extened it to fit a 36" sump. Still needs paint but i like it...

You are in the LPS Forum and there isn't much there but equipment

Maybe when you get some LPS corals it will get a few more comments. Good start though.

Well seeing as this is not a nano, and is under 180 gallons where would a tank thread go then.... I figured since it will be a lps tank i thought it was in the right forum...

I plan on stocking with mostly nano fish, 3-4green banded gobys, 3-4 kauderns cardinal, pair of clowns, would like to try and add 2-3 purple firefish and then probly a kole tang. Any other ideas?

I personally wanted to have tangs too but IMO the longitudinal swimming space is too short for a tang.
Blennies or mandarin,
Damsels or chromis.
So you are going the Berlin way ?

lps corals are discussed mostly in here rather than systems.

up top in the forum main menu there's "reef discussion" and "lighting and filtration". there's posts about peoples complete systems in there...

hope that helps
