Hey MR, I've decided to make this my first build thread. The total volume of this system including dt, ft and sump is about 13 gallons with 14 pounds of live rock. It will be a ZP dominated mixed reef with maybe a single fish. I will have entrusting montis on the bare bottom glass with maybe a few chalice. The stocking process will be very slow.

Nice set up! Where did you get the tanks?
Thank you. I built the tanks myself from scratch except the sump which is a 5.5 gallon that I de-rimmmed and added the baffles. I made the overflows from some acrylic I had at home and I painted them white with Krylon Fusion. The stand is put together with glue only not one nail was used on this setup

Thanks

Really nice job!

Thank you. How's your tank? I haven't seen you around for awhile. I hope all is well

Very nice job with the stand and tank. Just one question how noise coming form the equipment. I have a small apartment and my wife is a light sleeper.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The noise is not bad at all. It is definitely not silent but not too loud. My wife and I both enjoy the sound it makes. Sounds like a waterfall :)
