Come on you NAVY BOys love that pose .......................:lol:

Haha! Why do you think he had trouble sleeping that night?

I mean...stain looks great (again) Mike.

Looks great Mike, very impressive!

thanks Park ya so fat im at around 500 for wood and I still have to do the doors, I have the euro hinges from a job ,and then handles. and now the Misses wants me to change out the Cabinets in the wet bar ,where it used to be a kitchen for the Daycare and remodel the Bathroom :neutral: and heated tile floor. and the counter top.

should have stuck with the 150 lol

Lol I think software guys call that feature creep. Good luck resisting that.

To later she wants to rip out the second Bathroom Brett.:redface:

Mike, I'm thinking you should have stayed with the 150. She's going to use your new tank as leverage to remodel the whole house. :mrgreen:

Oh, and I'm really liking the build. That stain colour is terrific!

thanks Buddy Well its working. I hope she doesn't see my Visa .:redface:

well the cabinets are all stained really busy to get the doors done and friggin cold too. I received my 3 Ice cap pendants today too. I think that im going to change the 400 out for a 250 so all the bulbs are the same to boot like Doug stated to me.

Coming along nicely Mike.

Looks great!

Now get some more water in it though. :)

With a tiger cucumber you might eventually have all your sand end up in the back of the tank. Mine used to hide back there, stretch out to eat the sand and poop it in the back where it stayed.

Having just watched the movie 'Inception', I have to question my reality?

How is it possible that you are advancing so quickly? No cycle?

Anyways, awesome build. First class.
