Lol, isn't that always the way. I'm forcing myself to get my stand done first, before I hook up the plumbing. Thankfully I have a tank going while in the process to keep my enthusiasm at bay, haha.

Looking good man, keep the pics and updates coming.

Made some design changes to the stand. Went taller and longer because of how shallow my tank is

What would you charge for knocking up a metal stand like that? Say with the dimensions of 30x30x36?

Laminated to top, wife's tank is ready for plumbing after a bit of sump modification

Sump is holding a few corals and a fish until the tanks are ready



Sophia checkin out the sump

Plumbed the wife's tank and she aquascaped it


My tank is almost ready to go on the stand

No water going from tank to sump yet as I need to remove all the corals from the sump to a random tank and sterilize the sump

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have my media reactors up and running as I'm not using liverock to cycle, just zeobak as I have a fear of bryopsis and bubble algae
