The tank is being built finally! approx. 3 weeks till delivery.
Tank builder is Dennison (Mary Annes)
Tank is 8x2x2.5 with Starphire front and sides.
euro braced and has a 200x500 centre weir. Giving me 3x 50mm and 2x 25mm bulkheads to use as drains / returns

Pics to come upon delivery.

Kind of fell off the bandwagon here due to some personal issues. But now things are all sorted this build is back again!. Tank has been built and delivered. Plumbing is currently taking place. Hoping to have this doing a fresh water test run in the next 2 weeks.

Shame I had sold my other tank as now I need to try and find some good Live Rock again :(

If you're chasing good LR, get WA stuff, it is mind blowingly good and I know AcroAl is selling some at the moment too :) Check out his Facebook if you haven't already :)

Plumbing started!
Bottom part of the overflow done. Just have to brace the pipes.

Also got my return pump. Laguna maxflo 16500L/hr

What size is the sump ?

48x18x18
just a basic 3 chamber setup allowing enough room in the stand for storage and phos / calc reactor and dosing pump / chiller when I add one.
