Long time no update...
It has been a very busy last few months and the tank completion literally slowed to a crawl as work took priority. Thankfully I think we are finally at the home stretch and should be ready for some water very soon. Everything should be in place with exception to the cabinet handles and stain and I'm sure a few last minute surprises. The latest addition was 3 vertex reactors and a set of Hannah checkers with additional Elos test kits to cover the testing essentials. We will also be trying a flow accelerator off of the return line which is supposed to increase flow by up to 400%! The reviews look solid for this product. I'll update with results. I hope to upload a whack of photos in the near future. Special thanks to Greg for guiding me through the new build. This guy has built so many tanks he really is becoming a pro. With his help I'm sure this thing is going to be a beauty

I will try my best to remember to snap some pics as I build the cabinet doors and trims.

Skin's built
So since Oxy has been a little busy as of late I thought I would update his build thread with some pics of where we are now.
  Now I just have to do some wood filling on the brad nails & mitered cornor, some finish sanding, wood sealer & stain. Going to build a canopy as well to match.

Hey nice setup! I went with the shallow look also, except mine is 7Lx 2Wx 18H. The dimensions just make everything look bigger than it really is. Grizz made my stand too. Its sturdy as hell. Thanks by the way Grizz. I'll have a build thread started soon. Just in the collection phase and plumbing. I have the same lights too but have changed my mind. I'm going led.:-)
