Everything that is in my 155 Bow Front will be going into it but there is a few more fish I would like to get, like a Powder Blue & Naso Tang & Koran Angel.

Lookin good Greg!......I noticed the beautifully cut holes in the plywood under the tank..... I would think about going bigger with those holes....when I cut my openings I left 1" from the outside edge of the bulkhead and it is very difficult to get a wrench in there for that last 1/4 turn you need to "seat" the bulkhead

Oh that will happen once the tank comes off after all the plumbing is done. I am making sure that all the plumbing can come apart & so that the bulkheads can be removed. That way the tank can slide off stand and onto sawhorse's so I can finish the wood work.

So I pulled the tank off the stand tonight and cut the bulk head hole's bigger with a jigsaw to allow better access. Also went to Totem & Home Hardware to pick-up the remaining trim, hardware & some stain to finish the stand.

Decided to go with a OM 4 way for the closed loop, should have it hopefully Monday, as well as the bulkheads. If all goes well tank will be operational by next weekend.

More pics to come soon.

No I am going to be using the programmable wall switch timer's that have a built in battery back up. Catherine is selling some and is holding them until I can get to Calgary to pick them up. I have the one's in the pic on my 155 BF and they are a pain in the but, as we have power flicker often out on the acreage.

Nice that will be much better
