Wow, Brett, so good to see you on here looking at my tank. I know I sorely miss looking at all the amazing things you've done with your tanks...in fact you inspired me into doing the auto light lifter.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. It's been so long in coming...now I'm almost vibrating with the wait I have in order to plumb this giant!

The gap you see above the glass will disapear with Oak trim. There will also be a 3" Oak ledge all the way around at the base. There is a 1/2" gap all the way around the tank in the stand with holes and lines running down to a drain if ever there is a leak (at least one that doesn't burst the tank)

They are placing the hidden sink in and putting in my light control boards above that sink either today or early next week. I will try to get some pictures of how the overflow goes through the wall and such later today if I get over to the house.

I know this has been going on so long that it's been hard to stay interested but I think the real fun is soon to start!

Looking good Mark! I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.

I saw your wife walking by with a bunch of empty boxes last week so I'm guessing you are starting to pack up? You must be itching to get into the house. It would be sweet if you are in by Christmas.
