My tricked out 40gallon

[slipper]

This is my first post so please excuse my posting abilities.

I went for the 40 because It was easier to move around to take photos from, plus the dimensions are great. It has a 2in drain with 2 3/4 returns from a squid with a homemade enductor on one side and a spray bar on the other. I use a modded Koralia 4 (maximod) for extreme flow and a 250watt mogul (aqua connect bulb)=expensive bulb!!! Run on a duel PFO hqi ballast. A 100 rubbermaid sump connected to a 25g masonary tub for a fuge also lit by a 250mogul.
The skimmer is an over powered ETSS Reef Devil I modded for capacity.
The pump is a dolphin ampmaster 3400. Here are some pics:

Love the LPS theme. Very nice looking display and I am also afan of anything DIY. When your SCWD starts giving you problems, it seems they always do, give this little mod a try. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=76847&hl=scwd&st=0 Ive heard good things about it.
