Thank you. Finally getting to a point where I can get an idea of what the finished tank will look like.

You and me both haha. Hopefully I'll be able to have it filled by next week to see what how it actually plays out.

Coming along nicely, I like the choose of stain. Used to be all about the red stains but I find myself drifting to dark brown coffee and chocolate.

Thank you. I used minwax 'special walnut'. I'm all about the rustic colors. Deep rich stains and white accents. My apartment is on its way toward a mashup of an apple commercial and urban outfitters haha

Thank you for the kind words. I have my sole finned occupant in QT at the moment so hopefully I can have the tank filled soon. I just need to find the time to work on it. We're coming into the busy season so I've had some pretty long days up at the shop.

Thank you! I just skimmed through your build thread. I really like the height of your drop off. That must look spectacular in person

Thanks. Most of the fishes love to stay at the dropoff area.
