 Everything was made for $125, an amount I think is super reasonable, if not bordering on cheap!And, yes, that is a BK180 Mini (gen 1 tho  ). I can't wait to see it in action!

Since Miracles forgot to apply the black vinyl backing, I tried to apply the vinyl on the tank myself, but I suck. Bad. There's no way I can do it right and make it look decent. I'll probably have to paint the back tomorrow.
I made some progress today though. I cut out an area for the outlets, and expanded one of the holes I put in the back top corner of the stand since I forgot that the power cord for the fan for the light fixture has an adapter on it.  Also, I hung the light fixture. Got the bulbs in and, glass splash shields installed and put that baby up!     It makes me crazy that the fixture is held up by little bolts in the ceiling, but I suppose I should have faith in them - but I can't help but feeling like one day I'll come home to the fixture having gone for a swim.... Anyways, I'm pretty happy. Next steps: 1. Make back of tank black somehow - try vinyl again? paint black with acrylic/latex? 2. Level stand - it's ever so slightly off. 3. Get tank on stand. 4. Glue down plumbing. 5. Silicone in sump baffles. 6. Arrange electrical components (power bars, controllers, battery back-up, cords, etc.). 7. Profit!! Just kidding! Then starts the real fun!! Filling the tank!!! woooooo

looking good!
as per the vinyl issue, if I may provide some advice, if you have a clean spay bottle, fill it with some water, spray the section of the tank that you want the vinyl to stick to, slap the vinyl on, the water will give you the ability to move around the vinyl, when your happy with the location, grab a credit card wrap it in a terry cloth, then start from the middle outwards to remove the water. then your done!!!! oh I would recommend to pre-cut the vinyl before slapping it in the back of the tank.

How the hell did I miss this? It's like hidden nose treasure to a kid it's THAT sweet. Love the stand so far and kudos on all the planning. What exactly are those hinges called and where did you get them? Those are bangin' man.
Miracles does some crazy nice work and I suppose they have a pretty easy ride in your area for high end builds now that AO closed shop. Looking forward to more!
