Looking awesome! looking forward to the build!

Thanks. I spent most of the day on the stand. I have the sides on and front done. Still need to mount the front and install the trim. It's actually coming out better than I expected so far.

 

I'm taking my time so I can hopefully get it right the first time.

Looks awesome! This is the tank I am currently saving up for. How was drilling it and what all are you using for your pluming? Where did you buy your overflow box and plumbing?

 

Thanks!

I bought the Nano kit from glass holes. Cuting the holes was pretty easy. Just need to take your time and allow the drill to do the work without putting to much pressure on the glass. Most people say about 1 minute per hole, but it took about 3 minutes for each of mine. The kit includes the plumbing and diamond blade hole saws.

Done with the front. I decided to go with a false front so I can remove the whole thing for access as apposed to having a hinged door. A little more trim for the sides then I'll start plumbing. IMG_20141013_202015063.jpgIMG_20141013_202005824.jpg

Stand and plumbing are done. Had to add a little bling to the front. Also added an acrylic top on the tank and part of the sump. Just waiting for my RO system to get here so I can add sand, water, and live rock.

Great looking setup, and I see you are running the current LEDs. I have that on my 15 gal and it looks great !

Thanks. I love the Current lights. I just hope they do the trick. I researched quite a bit before buying them and most everyone seems very happy with them.

Following along. Looks really nice!

 

I will be interested to see how you like the Current light. I bought one for my son's 20g freshwater tank

but have yet to set it up

Nice shot! My LFS handles Mr Aqua tanks and people really like them.

What kind of skimmer are you using?

 

Are there many LFS in Columbia? My in-laws live in Pinehurst, NC.

Tunze 9004. We have a couple with saltwater. Only one is really good.

So far they are great. Everything I've put in here seems to thrive under them so far. Only time will tell, but everyone I know of that has them is very happy with them. Great price too.
