I think the tank has been around for a while but a little TLC and it should be back in business. As far as the lighting goes that is kinda what I figured, at this point I have the one pendant over the 30 gal temp tank and judging by how well it lights up the room there should be plenty of light with 2 on 120 gal.

Just a quick update on the progress.
The stand has been sanded and painted and the tank cleaned up. I just dropped off the tank to have the holes for the close loop and left drain drilled so I should be able to pick the tank up tomorrow. I have all the bulk heads I will need so it is just a matter of plumbing everything up. Hopefully I will be able to leak test everything next week and move the tank into the house on the following weekend.

update for this week, All the holes have been drilled, and the stand has been painted. I've also just built my 2 overflow overflow boxes so hopefully this weekend I will get those installed. I have also got the plan together for the plumbing layout for the close loop and 2 drains so I will be picking up some plumbing supplies tomorrow. I will try and get some pics up of the progress.

Here we go, here are the first photos since the tank was in my hands. I will upload some more up to date photos of the panted stand and the new plumbing.

The painted stand is a big improvement. Do you plan on adding some doors to the front? I remember Jason had just used a window blind to cover the opening.
Useless fun fact for today: The skimmer waste collector was built by Lance and has been passed around town a bit over the years.

Yes I plan on building some doors for the stand, they will have to wait though because I have to build some doors for some other shelving units in the house so I will build them all together. Good to know about that skimmer it may be old but it still works well.
