Well so far it’s an empty glass container in the middle of my dining room, literally in the middle since I moved it to paint the wall it’s going to be up against (I thought it was a peninsula? - yes but for the time being it is going to be a corner tank with only two sides viewable) In the future it will be a true peninsula.

Right now I have my rock curing and need to build the canopy and an electric panel. After these two I’m going to plumb the tank and water test it. I am hoping the water level is not to much lower than 2 inches from the top of the tank (1 inch from the bottom of the Eurobrace). I see a lot of SCA tanks with a lower water level mainly because of the recessed Eurobracing. But this method of bracing seems to be stronger but that’s just my guess based on looking at it. After I find out the exact water level I’ll need to drain the tank and then install the canopy to cover the top of the tank just low enough to cover the water level. Honestly I’m on the wall about the canopy but I’m planning on making it match with the stand wrap and it gives a more finished look. Here is the tank as you will see it when you walk into the house (plus the water , fish, corals , wrap, etc)

And when sitting at the dining table (sorry for the awful glare)
