Thank you, Paul! Maybe one day soon I can sport one of those awesome ATB skimmers of yours!

Having everything in one location makes it much easier on me. I ran out of room unfortunately, so I had to incorporate my ATO into my sump.

Cool thanks! I'll check it out!

The patience of this hobby is beyond a doubt the hardest virtue to harness! Trust me, I know, I have been salty since 1998!

I am so ready to finish up this stand, get the doors on, install my new light fixture, and slam this bad boy with coral! Now most of those things can happen rather quickly but I won't be slamming it full of coral all at once. I am going to place corals where they will thrive the most! The right amount of light and flow!

Thats deep... and never a truer statement has been written!

Imagine just sitting back looking at a 250g DD with Sand, Rock, salty water, a set of dual 54wT5HO ATI Blue+'s, and 3 chromis, it's just a huge tease! But I know that the longer I am patient the better! It sounds like I'll be getting my new fixture over the weekend and a frag of Efflo! Woohoooo! That will probably be the first coral addition to the tank after a little time in qt, a couple dips, and then a good rinse!!!!

That looks awesome can't wait to see it all together and finished. That extra step in each process is really starting to come together and male this build shine. Good job keep up the good work! Going to have to try and see this one in person when completed.

Thanks Bobby! You will get to see it one day for sure! You are one of the few people that have an open door invitation.

I'm building a dream tank remember?? I'm pulling out all the stops! Putting more effort now so it's pretty and durable!

3rd and Final Coat!!! Didn't really need it, but for durability sake, I did it anyways!!

Looking sweet. I like the Samsung door , but seriously nice carpentry skills.

Thanks Chief! The Samsung door is temporary until the real doors arrive! My 15 month old can stand under the tank and play in the sump, it's at the perfect level for her!

That sounds familiar I cannot count how many paper airplanes I have fished out of my tank

Bobby! For sure! This fixture is phenomenal! Felt like I was getting a tan on my neck while sitting on the couch last night! Cant wait to start adding stuff already! Slow and steady progress!
