No, I have been but I don't remember those pics, except for the final one. It has been awhile since I checked out your thread, but I am reviewing as we speak.... Sorry for my ignorance!!!! See, but yours looks to be made out of real wood, not plywood...

Re: Ctimpson's 135 gallon Reef Tank... Build Thread...
Ctimpson, you asked for bulb recommendations ?? if you are running electronic ballasts ... the ONLY 250w bulb that i recommend is the Coralview Reeflux 10K SE, it has a tint of blue that makes SPS coloration UN B lievalbe !! i am not sure if they have the same affect on magnetic ballasts though.
BTW ... i am switching to electronic ballasts and these bulbs VERY soon. Current Aquarium(s) Description: SPS dominated 125, 100 gallon frag tank, 100 gallon rubbermaid sump Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 3 years, fragging 2 1/2 years

Re: Ctimpson's 135 gallon Reef Tank... Build Thread...
Hello all... Well today after I got home from work I had to spend the last 3 hours of daylight moving one of my tanks in my room to the kitchen, so no work was done today on the tank... I do have a couple of questions however... First, should I sell my month old euroreef rs80 and pick up an octopus skimmer? Also I think I should just invest in an RO unit, seeing how it will pay for itself when it comes time to fill this monster... Can anyone recommend a decent one and does anyone know if you can hook up the unit outside of the house like attaching the unit to a hose... Why you ask? Because I rent a room and my room it outside attached to the house, so the less fish stuff in the house the better...

Is there any chance the RO filter could freeze outside this winter?
I dont see what it would hurt al long as you can keep it out of the weather. Sun,rain,and cold are not exactly good for plastic.
