After hiding for 1 year (no marine period) and coming back late December 2010 on RSM/3ft, and after much hestiation i finally went for my desire.

This desire took 2 weeks "ding dong" after deciding to setup a new tank.

On 30th March 2011, new tank coming and old one decom.

here are the decommission pictures:

During the planning stage, much discussion was held between me and the LFS and some close reefers,this has resulted in the following desirable features:P

Top Left: Side door on the left cabinet for easy maintenance of the filter sock or future equipments:P

Top RIght: Oveflow pipe that goes to far end of the sump

Bottom Left: Durso in the external overflow box

Bottom RIght: Large rectangle hole for chiller pipes and wiring - no more unscrewing that 3 pin plug grrr :P
