I've actually been working on a portable / motorized screen to protect the tank while a good ole game of billiards is going on. I may have to work harder on that lol

Sorry Doug I missed your post, always happy to have you over. As soon as your an E-towner! lol

I just finished moving my current tank about 10 ft away. I feel like we just moved houses!! Moving tanks sucks! tank looks like garbage and all my nice corals are chilling in jr's tank nice and safe till its time to move back to the new home.

I think I need to steam clean the carpet before I start moving the big boy into its permanent home.

Just a quick update, Ive been working on getting the stand done. Would have been done sooner but the NHL playoffs have been a lottle distracting!!

Here are some pics:

I covered the bottom plywood with a sheet of melamine so its not pressure treated plywood directly on the carpet.



All the internal sides of the wood has been painted with an oilbased primer and then multiple coats of a latex kitchen and bath paint.



I've also been working on the controller box..



Still some more mounting to do in there including the vortech controllers.

Hey Jason, slow down. You're making my build look bad(if thats possible). Let me know if you need a hand with anything, everything looks good.

Nice work
Your controller box has me thinking how exposed my sump panel is. Time for some brainstorming
