I am working on LED backlighting so it will be a glowing cylinder of foam

Hahaha that would make this a truly unique build! A glowing 5' tall skimmer!

looks like the leg of your stand is leaning out to the left from the tank. Is this just me?

Lighting the skimmer is an awesome idea! +1 on the wierd angle of the leg...

I can't get over how fast this is going up! Excellent job and you have some really unique ideas.

Looking good Dave. Love those blue walls, and the backlit skimmer is a cool idea. By the time I get home you'll have the fish in for sure.

I believe the fish are in now...I'm kicking myself for missing all the fun

Fish are in and they look much happier, I am hoping to get the rest done in the next few days.

I don't know about fun, I was up till 1:00 making sure everything was good, Happy I double checked everything as the power bar for the heaters was plugged in but not turned on! One small leak on one overflow, but an easy fix. you will have to stop by and check it out, even I am impressed and that is hard to do

You would lean too if you were holding up 7500lbs

In fact the leg is leaning but is not supporting anything, It will be trimmed and straightened when the skirting goes on.

Thanks, once in a lifetime opportunity to do it the way I dream, I want it done right once, no re-do for me.

Makes sense to do the dream the right way

But what's this business about having to wait until Sunday for more pic.'s!

Have to work

this obsession comes at a cost, I think I need a couple more jobs what with all the space in the new fishroom, can't very well be filling that with non fish related stuff now can I.
