Atleast you've had a tank before, so with this one you will know what to look for and about mistakes to try to correct this time. Your new tank looks like it will be great when its done judging by the pics so far.

Well so much for no mistakes. Kinda hoping that no one would noticed, upon further examination it is pretty obvious.

Just an update. Built the stand today, still needs paint but other than that looks good. We used a laser level to get the stand level right off the hop so no need for shims later. The cement floor was over a half inch out over the length of the tank! Also started to install the tiles. Just used the cheep sticky back ones from Rona. Will finish the floor After the hole in the cement is filled. And yes stud number 5 is still crooked.

Still having troubles with posting pics.
When I use the attachment button and input this link it says
-Invalid URL

Then I use the one that says Direct Link on photobucket and it says
-Remote file is too large

Then I use the HTML code and it says
-Invalid File

Then I use the image code and it says
-Invalid File

Any more help would be great

Well its been a while since my last update. I have been out of town for work and the tank took a little longer than expected to get built and there really hasnt been anything new for a while....Until now.

The tank is on the stand with the overflow curing at this moment.

While viewing the next batch of pictures keep in mind that this tank is built from 3/4 inch glass and weighs in at over 1000lbs. It had to go down a set of 8 stairs while being stood on end and slid so the bottom went first. Viewer discretion advised as there was pretty sketchy moments, this was a very nerve wracking experience but all went very well. The overflow had to be installed after the fact due to space limitations while moving so the tank still isnt in its final resting place but it is close. I would like to thank all those that helped with the move, my friend Bryan, and the boys from Concept aquariums, and Marine aquaria...You know who you are. It definitely wouldnt have happend so smoothly without you guys..
