Wow...looks good. Really didn't expect you to have the pics I was requesting. I would love to see a better shot of the cabinet around the tank too.

Everything looks happy...how long have they been moved over?

Look at Birch as well, very nice smooth wood grain, stains nicely and is a little cheaper then Oak or Maple. That is unles you have a connection at the lumber store for a sweet discount :lol:

Thanks dude. I will keep that in mind.:lol:

Thanks. its hasn't been long at all, 3 days. :twised: I stayed up till 4:30am just to finish all the aquascape and transfered all the coral on a school night. I mean I had to work the next day.

birch is very close to maple in fact ive used birch plywood when run out of maple and you can't tell the difference.

:thumb::thumb::thumb: I APPROVE THIS BUILD!

I love these wide tanks!

I'm really digging the aquascape, perhaps a future TOTM

Is that Jeff in your pic? If so I recognize the look he's giving the camera, but I hardly recognize him - haven't seen him in ~5 years.

Sorry to hear the move didn't go so well. Having the replace the tank into the same spot is really not a fun thing to have to deal with, usually ends in losses. I hope everything perks back up for you. Can't wait to see pics of the 300DD running! :D

I think I saw some maple sheets for sale at Rona, I can't imagine it being that expensive. The only problem I see me running into is maybe human error on fabing the skin and having to re-make it. Now that could get expensive. The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards getting a profession al to make it for me. We will see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up.
