I'm really impressed with not only your wood working but the acrylic work as well.  First time and you took on that!! Good for you!!!

I'm curious as to the cost of the acrylic and the time it took on your sump. If you wouldn't mind sending me a PM I'd appreciate it.

Awesome tank build thread! What's your goal for your 180????

Thanks everyone for the great comments!  

Luckedout, I think I spent right around $100 for the 4x8 sheet of acrylic and have almost half of that left.  As for the time, I am slow at things like that - I would say I probably spent around 20-30 or so hours start to finish.  I will be much faster working with the acrylic the second time around.  There is a learning curve for sure.

As for the goal for my 180, at this point the only thing I have decided is that it will be a reef tank.  I don't want it to be a repeat of my 100.  I am planning on attending the  SLC Reef Fest and get ideas for aquascape, equipment etc...  I would also love to hear suggestions.  I will start a 180 build thread soon.  I will be welcoming all the advice and suggestions I can get.
