I like how your garage pictures have blue reef tank lighting :)

 

Looks great! What does the overflow box look like from the display side?

 

Well there is a 20K radium about a foot away :lol: ATI took a crap and had to get another power supply......I never hooked it back up just left it old school.

 

Here is a pic from before but can get a better one tomorrow I am crashing soon......getting old sucks :lol:

Ok, these count as updates :D there's a lot of them!!

So is the overflow box cut into the back glass?

 

No there are 2 holes drilled in the glass and the inside box is about an inch thick. It blends real well. I will get better pics tomorrow after its filled and running......unless I drink to many beers waiting for it to fill :blink:

That's what I was trying to figure out when I asked for the picture of the other side. Stella's better with her words than I am :)

 

I really like the way you're doing this. I'm taking lots of notes for my Big Boy tank someday.

 

PS: that light looks like a tanning machine on steroids.

Looks great! But it will be easier to move it if you drain the water first, I promise.

All these compliments.....I can feel spectras head swelling from here.

:^ )

 

Na I already knew I had skilz :lol: I should just say I am so flippen anal that I wont let shit slide when doing something.......I think I have a bunch of left over wood as it did not pass the test when building......I know I don't want to look at crap and to be honest I feel if people just take the time anyone can really do it. Hell I am only a welder not a carpenter but have been around construction all my life and shit has just rubbed off I guess........plus having tools helps also ;)

Wow... the stand looks so good!!

 

Looks phenomenal!

 

Gorgeous job on the build Spectra! That stand is just beautiful, I'll definitely be using a welded metal stand next time round.

 

Damn this is looking good. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

Thanks everyone! I cant wait to get it done also........Stells said Halloween so we will see :lol:
