While I'm sitting on my butt at home, Dave is crating my tank at 8pm! Should be here soon.

Also, getting the tank built in Calgary by Concepts and shipped to Vancouver was literally half the price that I was being quoted in Vancouver.

I'm excited for you! I'm tempted to have concept build me something too..... :)

Lol don't be tempted just do it I have no regrets with my build, except I should of went bigger lol but that's everyone's regret after a while lol.

Arrived yesterday!

The next step is to skin the stand. I think it will be done in a dark walnut. I spoke with a guy today, hopefully I can get this done quickly as I'm itching to get started!

Also, after a bunch of problems with my AI nano I got a replacement from AI. Unfortunately they didn't have a Nano in stock, so I paid a bit extra and they sent me a Sol blue. That will light the refugium/frag tank.

Came down to Mitras vs. Kessil. Went with the Kessil because of its small size, price, and I like the mounting arm. Knowing me I'll regret my decision in two weeks, but so far I like my choice.

The overflow. I used stockman-like standpipes due to a lack of space. If it doesn't work out I'll try another design.

Cut out a few teeth and fed the loc-line under the eurobrace.

Not quite finished the plumbing. Still need to build something to support it, and I need to finish the return plumbing. The DC5000 has a weird sized outlet, 1.25" and I couldn't find a PVC 1.25"-1" threaded bushing in Vancouver. I have accepted I'll have to use the 1.25"/1" barbed adapter that came with the pump, which I'll attach to hard plumbing with a 1" barb/male threaded adapter.

Still lots to do.

Good to see some progress
Where's the second DT ?

Thanks!

I'll get the second tank in the fall.

:jaw: one piece euro brace cube....with external overflow...and all the plumbing neatly hidden....gorgeous stand and all the right gear to make me wet myself a little in its presence...
