Nevin's 14G + 5.5G sump

[Nevin]

My progress has been very gradual and it's too long since I updated. My stand is done! Well, almost--have to build the light fixture. The bowfront tank presented a real challenge in adapting the stand. The curved front piece is made from 9 separate strips of wood glued together and even though the front layer of veneer bubbled up a little I'm more than happy with the final results.

I found a swing check valve at Ocean Aquatics and I think I have everything I need to plumb it. Oops, except for the sump which broke.

That's all for now. Hope I can move along a little faster and update soon.
