Yes the stand is a bit overbuild but why not.

OK so this weekend, did not due much I was relaxing... I did however get the lights up.



and got my sand, well a start we will see how this fills out the tank and go from there.



On a side note I did rebuild my gaming rigs.



finally got my nemo up



I also started setting up my apex's. I will be running 2 of them one for the main tank and another for the QT. More to come on this as I just started....

That looks super awesome Elder!! Each section looks like a tank on their own, but the whole length is epic.
I also love the open sand bed.

Where'd you get the black trim ?

Thats a really unique tank! You might need to add another AFS or two to manage/balance the feedings and to keep aggression down long term. Im looking forward to seeing more piccys!

I manufactured the trim from a product called Sintra it is expanded PVC that comes in a flat sheet so I can CNC it. It also can be welded same as acrylic to give you permanent bonds.

And thanks I wanted a open tank look never liked having 10000 pounds of rock in a tank.

Thank you all for the the kind words I will be posting more pic's this weekend.
