Well, I thought I had a build thread on here, but I can't find it. So, here's a new one. :)

We built the stand and canopy back in 2009 in Ohio. It all came down in 2011 for our move to Utah. Unfortunately, the moving company banged the stand up a bit, and I lost most of my corals between the move and the 2011 windstorm. Anyway, here's the build...along with some "now" coral photos. :)

Marineland 150g deep tank with Octopus Extreme 250 skimmer w/ soda can for reference


Me building an acrylic sump (~50g)


Stand build - making sure the sump fit correctly


Adding the trim


Adding the marble and big leaf maple burl shelf

In Ohio it was set up as a 2-sided tank. Here we have it set up as an island. Since we're military and can't predict our houses, we made it so it can be an island, peninsula, 2 or 1 sided.

Now for the current inhabitants:

I get to see this tank a couple of times a week and it's amazing.  When I get to occasionally tank set I have to be careful because i catch myself watching it for a long time and really should be working.  Nice tank.

Aw, thank you! I've taken two polyps off since 2007, and that was only to make a backup in case I ever lost the mother. So, I doubt I'll ever sell a piece, but I'll keep you in mind. :)

How it looked when I got it back in 2007:

I just bought the same tank and skimmer as you (just by chance, not trying to copy haha). But i'm hoping mine can end up as awesome as yours!
