Thanks everyone, I still have to repaint the floor , I have more of the tropical ocean paint , waiting to get fuge setup and going and move the Topoff reservoir off the floor. I will have plenty of storage under the table top. I plan on adding a deep sand bed in the fuge with a few garden eels. maybe some micro algae. add some color.
Very nice Tank Great job on the build looking forward to seeing some updates

Fingers are crossed. Wish me luck!! I love my livestock like i love my English bulldogs. saturday will be 14 days since transfer.
