Your "Alien Invader" looks like it needs a hug.

The stand looks really nice! I wish I had that skill!

Why don't I send the alien to your house for that hug? (ha ha ha)

Stand is stained...(so in my next life I WILL NOT be a professional furniture stainer!) pics to come.....

Sump is built...and a HUGE thanks to Jim (whiteice669) for building it for me...cheap! Materials were old scrap glass he had so we figured out $20.00 for the sump

plan to have a Maxijet for a return pump...just not sure yet whether the 1200 I have will be too much.....we'll see....

Got my light today from the local fish shop Dragon's Lair in Campbell River. Was $59.99 plus tax so $67.74




Total spent that we claim is
$67.74
+ $20.00
________
$87.74

BTW..

Don't include tax in your prices for the budget..

I haven't been (as it never crossed my mind), and I don't think anyone else has that I have noticed.
