This has been put off my son and I should have started this from the very start. After a year since we lost our home and had to breakdown and give away our reef, my son and I started a new build. It's quite a downgrade in size but it's way more hands on.

Cut and installed the rear panel tonight secured with three countersunk screws from the top and bottom through the steel. Then I ran a bead of black calk around the edge to fill any tiny imperfections. Also did the side and bottom shelf. It will be painted Onyx black to match the stand. I love the frosted film on the back glass. Will look cool with one of those RGB led strips lighting it up.
