Nice work! 
I really like the clean look of the install.
Is it difficult to access the sump?

THANKS!
The sump is actually very easy to access...through the small door on the right you go in and the 50 gallon is on the floor about a foot behind the tank....so I can walk back and bend down to get into the sump....
I hope the corals are all positioned okay for light and flow???? I think everything is doing good, nothing has died yet! The tank has really good flow....actually can you have to much flow? I am guessing around 650GPH there is and obvious current in the tank and in the bottom right corner the current is digging out the sand which does create a little bit of light sand particles floating in the air.....tried to move the outlet but i like the flow the best how it is, and so does my RBTA....when I changed it he shrunk up into his cave for a few days until I moved the flow back......Oh the flow does change every thirty min from one outlet to the other so it mixes things up a bit!
Is this red stuff on the sand okay?  |

My impression is "MEH" I'm just kidding that look awesome, it looks better than the blue prints and from what i was thinking. A clean looking tank with no equipment showing what so ever, and putting it to the wall that just blew me away amazing work. Rock work is awesome too

Turned out very awesome. Looks like you took the best of everyone's suggestions to help make it that way. You did a great job with rock and coral to make it very efficient and natural looking.

What do I think? I think it's awesome! Great Job!
You will want to put in your ventilation asap, just to prevent mildew and other stuff from getting a foothold. But again great job!

I know that the black is a bit bold but the entire room has a Black and White theme.....Black couch, antique black bench, white wood floors......you get the idea....i painted it white to begin with but liked how the black popped the tank on the wall!
TANK SPECS
65 AGA with corner overflow Using the HERBIE method with 1" Drain and 3/4" backup drain 55Gal Acrylic Sump with three chambers 1st- Filter sock and SeaClone Protien skimmer (hope to upgrade this in the future), 2nd- pump return chamber, 3rd refugium, I also have a 20 gall acrylic tank connected to the system that is also a Fuge but eventually was thinking FRAG tank???
The return pump is an Iwaki 40RLT that goes to a Time Control valve through 3/4" pipe that alternates flow every 30 min from one pipe to the other creating a variation in current in the main tank.
Lights, 2- 175W MH and 2- 30W Blue Actinics
Fish: 2 clown Purple Tang Coral Beauty
CORAL????? Still Learning all of the names.....RBTA, Some leather coral, Green slimmer, Mushrooms, Birds Nest.....????
