well the wife was out last night with the camera but i finally got some time to move the tank downstairs and into position but i still have to paint the back of the tank, but here is where its at at the moment.


but first i just wanted to say that concept aquatics and brad working with me through the whole tank build process was great, i couldnt be happier, he even asked me questions that i didnt think of that i should of. They have very good prices but even better is the customer service which was important to me. In the end the tank turns out great and even better, the wife likes it too

now on with the pics.



The edges look even better in person










They didnt have my top off in stock so they decided to upgrade me!



My first T5's ever i wonder what the colour will look like.





so the room is a bit messy with all my fish stuff everywhere but once i get everything in. i will clean it all up.





the sump JUST fit in, i didnt have to make another hole in the side or anything which is great. the reactor i ordered also just fits in without it hitting the front door.





i will keep the updates coming as times goes on.

Hi Dan

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad that your tank turned out the way that you had hoped. It was a pleasure working on the design with you.

Now - on to bigger and better things. When can we expect to see water in this tank?

- Brad
