This is my tank so far:
Hardware:
20 Gallon Display Tank
30 Gallon Sump/Refugium
DIY Skimmer
Side Drilled with GlassHoles.com overflow
Custom Mahogany Hood
96W SunPod Quad Retrofit (dual actinic/dual 10k)
Eheim Flake Feeder
Ranco ETC Temperature Controller
Working on a DIY Controller/Data Logger
Software:
1 Trochus, 1 Turbo, 1 Cleaner Shrimp
Zoanthids and Green Star Polyp
Firefish in quarantine
This next photo is a little older. I had originally expoxied the flat rock onto the upright one in order to make a ledge, but later decided it was too high. I broke it off to lower it (as seen in the first picture). I'm planning to have a clam on there, right in the middle and directly under the lights.
This shot shows the mahogany hood in more detail. I'm particularly proud of the carefully mortised hinges. There's a hole near the back where food from the auto-feeder drops into a feeding ring. The biggest drawback with this hood is that it's somewhat cumbersome to remove when I need full access to the tank. In the future I might make a new one that allows the whole thing, including the lights, to hinge up out of the way.
Here's a wider shot of my desk, showing not only the tank but also my monitors and some of life's essentials: whiteboard markers, pellet food, coffee cups, pipettes, etc.
This is the sump, next to the couch in the other corner of the office.
Here are some more random tank pictures.

In addition to the obvious green star polyps, this rock is also full of brittle stars, bristle worms, feather dusters, and some spaghetti worms.
Thanks for looking!
