Stand temporarily in place, lots of rearranging to do and I still have to do a section of the woodwork on the stand before I can put the tank on.

I'm gonna ditch the projector screen and paint a section of the wall beside the tank for the screen

Lots of drywall work to be done. still have to run my top off line and water change lines through the wall from the garage to the tank. Previous owners destroyed the walls when they moved out and I've been procrastinating a lot as far as fixing them)

Another teaser shot of the tank
I'm going to start on the acrylic on Saturday when my new plastic cutting end mills show up but ill be drilling and plumbing the tank Friday.

For plumbing I'm going with 2 1-1/2 drains (herbie) and 2 locline returns through the coast to coast powered by a speedwave dc pump (the bigger one)

Not gonna miss this one. :popcorn:

LOOKING GOOD Tyler, you got lots of people watching the progress on the build.
Including me :popcorn:

Drilled some holes this morning and cut and painted some wood to start the cabinet section of the stand. Painting the inside of the cabinet white.

Didn't get much done over the weekend, I was planning on having water in it but forgot to buy some stuff and didn't wanna make a trip into town for a couple fittings

Returns plumbed

Reactors ready to go in

Returns will be powered by the largest speedwave and reactors by a small one

looking good man! that footprint is pretty cool, and the overflow on the end makes a very slick clean look. nice job so far. Keep the updates coming!

Progress has been slow as I've had a busy few weeks... Managed to pick up a 75g for a sump, finished plumbing the drains and filled it with water


Also discovered that my floor is a half inch out of level over 4'
