2nd coat of mud on this morning. Next is first wet sand then hopefully final skim. It's starting to look really good.

Looks great. When's the tank getting there?

Got this cool little guy for the cabinet door.

@nvladik, not quite sure when the tank will be done. I emailed the sales rep from AGE yesterday, he said he was going to check on its progress. I'm hoping its soon. Thanks for checking in Vlad. I forgot to post another update from last Friday. My overflow arrived from Synergy Reef. Here it is, gotta say this is very cool. I love the magnetic weir!

Thinking about my return plumbing, powerheads etc. I was just doing some price comparisons. One of my big concerns/desires is to have as much random alternating flow as possible. I was thinking about going with a couple Tunze, but then was thinking for just about the same price I could go with 2 1" seaswirls. My tank will have a center brace and I was thinking I could position the two there, and have them directed at opposing sides, and not need any powerheads in the tank. What do you all think?

Just heard about my tank. It is drying, looks like it just needs some silicone clean up and the top rim and it's done! Here's some pics AGE was nice enough to send along.

Major progress this weekend! The space is just about finished. All I have to do is put up the base board, paint it, and paint the trim around the cabinet door. It's coming along quite nicely. I still need to get a piece of rubber from Tractor Supply for the tank to sit on. I'm really hoping AGE contacts me this week saying " your tank is done and ready to ship please send final payment." I can't wait to get that thing in place and trim that out too. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for the likes @Ahgee, @kingston.buck, and @cmcoker! Got the baseboard up this morning, and filled all the nail holes. I'm going to tape tonight when I get home from work, and paint tomorrow. Also just got the email from AGE that the tank is done and ready for shipping!!!!! Still waiting to here back to confirm charges etc, and talk to the shipping company. Things are really gonna start taking shape here, can't wait!

Thanks @revhtree, really starting to come along. Can't wait to get the tank in place, and start plumbing! Been following your build. Quite the project you are gonna have there. Congrats on the new house!!!

Awesome, can't wait to see the whole thing together... nice job on the door for the wall access, looks great!

Expected delivery for the tank is Monday 6/27!!!!. Time to start figuring out my plumbing. Anybody know if you can use regular PVC glue with the ABS Bulkheads from Bulk Reef Supply?

Stormfront · Jun 21, 2016

I gotta say, this build is looking awesome so far. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you get the tank in there!

Yep I used it.

Thanks for the great compliment @Stormfront I can't wait to see what it looks like when the tank is in there either. I'm really looking forward to getting the Orpheks and hanging those over the tank, that's gonna be huge and look really slick. Still got a ways to go, but it's getting there.
