This tank has been a long time in the works. We ordered the Lemar tank about 8 months ago and we are finally ready to put everything together. The display is about 225G with a 60G sump. That puts it at about 285 gallons of madness! The dimensions of the tank are 48X30X36 with a center overflow. We opted to go with an Led setup and i couldn't be happier with that decision. There is still some cabinetry work to be done on the stand and that should all be wrapped up later this week. Last night we added sand and salt and 300lbs of live rock should be here Thursday! Anyway, I'll post some more along the way but i thought i would show some pictures of the setup so far. Please let me know if you have any questions! thanks for looking.



My dad owns a manufacturing company so he made his own custom stand.

Well they finally finished the cabinetry work! we got about 260 lbs of live rock in and aquascaped. the pictures don't do the aquascaping justice, there are tons of cool caves, arches, tunnels and hiding places.
