To all out there, first of all thanks for intertaining my post. Second of all....I love marine aquaria....strong beleiver in make your own reef 
My Wife and I will be moving to the area of San Diego in September and I am looking at setting up a new reef in the house that we wind up getting, although I would love to diy build a nice acrylic setup...I will only be there for 4 years. I am really interested in a 1/2 acrylic 75G Long (60"x18"x 16") show that is reef ready with stand and canopy. I have shopped around for my 5th aquarium in 18 years, and they just get more costly everytime.....so I am looking for second hand stuff
all the bells and whistles I don't really need, just a reliable overflow/return setup.
Will be starrting the tank off with aragacrete base rock then working some caribbean live into the setup....1 inch plenum/1 in araga/oocilete sand( thanks to some buddies in Utah :dance ) 3 icecap 175 MH/ 2 54W VHO, and let us not forget about the marvels of LED power
got a great idea from "Lifelines aquarium" for a dusk/dawn/moonlight LED DIY. :OT: By the way....they seem to have a great product on hand.....wish they would finish their market survey)....and blah blahblah....not to eat up the forum server. but help in the area would be great if not....would love to find people in the area with thte same interest....maybe even frag swapping after a year of my tank cycling.
