Hi Guys My Names Kyle My Friends And Every One That Knows Me Calls Me Toxic. The Reason Behind This Build Is Because I Got This Tank Off This Guy And The Tank Is In Awesome Shape But The Stand Looked Like Something You Would Find In A Chinese Restaurant ( Black With Fake Gold Streaks All Over The Place ) Something That Would Look Awesome If I Had That Kind Of Decorations In My House. But I Will Be Uploading Photos And Keeping You Guys Updated And Let Me Know What You Guys Think Of It.. Ill Upload The Photos Tomorrow For Every One 2 See And Its Still A Build In Progress There Is Also Videos On Youtube Just Search Prettyman Exotics Thank You

| Great idea with the different power strips! My husband and I are upgrading to a 90 gal., and I think we may implement this! Looks great so far! |

| Thank You :D... I Did It Because When I Feed My Corals I Like To Turn Off All The Flow In The Tank, Fans , Powerheads , Sump Etc. That Way I Can Get Better Target Feeding. So Now All I Have To Do Is Flip A Switch And Turn It Off To Feed And When Everything Is Done Eating I Can Turn It All On Instead Of Unplugging Things.. Also Same Goes For The UV Sterilizer And Protein Skimmer If I Ever Have To Treat My Tank And Can't Have Them On For A Couple Days I Can Just Shut Them Off As Needed Instead Of Unplugging And Needing To Find Them Later To Plug Them Back In. |
