I moved the tanks into position. Nearly broke my back and hit my head not once but twice on the opening. Hopefully not an indication of what maintenance is going to be like lol.
I found a new use for an interlocking playmat my wife wasn't using in her dayhome anymore as well! I placed the 'nice' side down since it's disney princesses =)

My suggestion for the table is a brown crayon (no really, it's worth a try).
Tanks look great. Man I love the look of a new tank, the clean lines and everything. Where'd you pick up the tru-union valve?

Thanks Tony.
Yeah washing the table seems to have helped a bit. I noticed later I put two gashes in there haha but I think it's crayon time. The 2" TU ball valve is from Bulk Reef Supply. I picked up a 1.5" and 4 1" of the same style and I'm glad I did since they are well built and turn so nicely. I bought all my fittings, valves and pipe from BRS. I'm waiting on a few more things from them to finish my plumbing. My black flex pvc should arrive same day (27th) so I am pumped. Last edited by lastlight; 10-24-2008 at 06:38 AM.

So the stand is officially completed. I was happy to get this done before the tile we used on the fireplace got discontinued or something! These photos show the finished exterior and the plumbing I did inside. 2 inputs into the sump that wrap behind the skimmer are for the refugium drains. That will be a 20 gallon on a shelf somewhere in there. Thanks for lookin'!

looks really good good idea on grouting the tops into a angle and leaving no grout lines on main doors.

That is a great looking setup so far... The tank itself looks great! When will it see water?

Thanks guys =)
Be a while yet. Second child on the way doesn't help lol. Next up is my light rack which will be angled aluminum with a wood skin but with 3 reflectors, bulbs and a schwack of t5s it is going to require some careful saving. The build thus far has all been done with money I can scrape up on the side. I used to have a pretty nice collection of out of print cds =)

Can't wait to see more updates, I like the idea of the sliding front and matching it with the fireplace
