well good news, big update today... pics to come :)

well the wife was out last night with the camera but i finally got some time to move the tank downstairs and into position but i still have to paint the back of the tank, but here is where its at at the moment.


but first i just wanted to say that concept aquatics and brad working with me through the whole tank build process was great, i couldnt be happier, he even asked me questions that i didnt think of that i should of. They have very good prices but even better is the customer service which was important to me. In the end the tank turns out great and even better, the wife likes it too :biggrin:

now on with the pics.

Hi Dan

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad that your tank turned out the way that you had hoped. It was a pleasure working on the design with you.

Now - on to bigger and better things. When can we expect to see water in this tank?
