Well, I figure I should start off with the fact that I am addicted to saltwater collecting. I have a 120g tank with 40g sump, I will list equipment later I just figured I would upload some pics of the tank thus far :P

Here is a pic of the tank in my room, the stand was a diy project that me and my dad built, and I must say we did a nice job.

Your tank looks great, Zack! You have accomplished a great deal in a relatively short period of time. See you Sunday at the swap.

Thanks, for me it seems that it is only a 1000th of the way to being finished with coral and equipment, the tank still looks unnatural to me and I can't wait for the day that it looks not man made like some peoples tanks.
