Well got the clear coat all done just have to wait on the last door.


I need to work on the photo skills now





I was going to do the edges like this but I thought nawwwwwwwwwwwwwww


I hope you have liked the build as much as i had fun doing it. JUST FOR THE RECORD THIS IS MY DREAM BUILD.
NO MORE TANKS
NO MORE SKIMMERS
I feel that all the time that I have built something and bought something that I was never happy. until now
Love the skimmer
love the tank
love the stand
love the rock work.
love hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


ok I'm bored

Very very very nice job dude, well do, now the hard part taking good pics of an 8'er, I know I have difficulties there .

Thanks for the kind words Greg yes i really light how it turned out too. I thought that that right cabinets was a cool idea to have the stuff in high enough to work on , I can't take all the credit about the look of it My friend Dwayne helped me out and gave me some pointers too. as for the cabinet style for the sump and skimmer areas THANKS FOR SPHELPS ides from his Cube

Bangin' dude that looks really nice. I'm thinking of leaving the waterline exposed as well. Sort of a open top wannabe thing to do but with no humidity problems and a trap for jumpers lol.

LETS GROW IT ON!
