Default 90 gallon & DIY built in stand project

Putting together a 90 gallon reef and building my own built in stand,
quick outline of what I'm doing with some pictures as I go along.
Display tank 90 gallon rear drilled with overflow siliconed inside.
Sump is a 50 gallon Oceanic reef ready.
Started this in August: These are the pictures so far with more as I go along.
starting the stand

some skinning and trim done.

Display tank in place to finish trimming.

AI lighting I'm using

Looking good Laurie,

Good job with the enclosure. Think I saw you at Home Depot a couple of weeks back, I was in too much of a hurry to come have a natter.

Keep up the good work,
Dunc

Looks really good. I'll have to drop by and have a look. I'm jealous of the amount of room you have around your sump.....my stand is rammed, barely a spare square inch for anything else.
