d2mini's Epic Fantabulous New Reef Build

But in all seriousness what is the black plastic tubs? Are they just like pond tubs that are going to be the ones going in the garage?

Yup, they are Rubbermaid stock tanks from Tractor Supply.
The 150 gallon will be my sump and the 50 gallon will be a mangrove and frag tank.
Both in the garage.
 
Sneak peak at the "fish room"... in progress. :)

Looks good so far Dennis! Are you planning on closing the area off at all? I know my garage gets pretty dusty and dirty here, I'd be worried about it.
 
A little info:

The work table is 6' long.
The big sump is 150 gallons, the small one on top is 50 gallons.
There's a comfortable amount of walking/standing room between the sump and the work table.
The shelving unit is commercial strength and rated for around 1200lbs per shelf.
The water tanks are 65g each.

The only thing I may do is hang some visquine plastic. More to control humidity/salt in the air but we'll see. I plan on installing a vent fan in the ceiling. My garage seals up tight so it stays pretty clean.
