Well here are some updates:

More construction on the stand and getting ahead on the lighting.

Messed up on the stand with the wood but it turned out ok. I actually used the wrong side of the plywood....oops.



Thank you Steve for the acrylic scraps and the glue repairs haahaa!



Getting near done, but I need to install the lights in the hood and get the last bits of wood on the hood around the tank perimeter.



I will get a construction tally for applicable cost for the budget once I am done, then comes livestock and water changes haahaa!

The entire tank theme will be space oriented. Rock work, inhabitants, corals, hopefully everything will have a spin on it but we will see. The livestock budget is going to get tight but we will do our best!

Game On!

Wendy & Scott

The sheet is some metallic bubble wrap, I had it there to simulate something under the tank for leveling.

The entire tank bottom will be black, as will the inside of the stand to make it a little more incognito!

Here are a couple more zoo's for you ryan!





















I'll get some better shots of the purple deaths and nuclear greens tommorrow after the riders game!

Haahaa, we are actually staining it red mahogany... which just so happens to be the same colour as the wood you see on the inside of the stand...hence my mistake lol!

Here are some of the possible inhabitants, nothing is finalized yet though!





There are some neat fish and inverts that are on our list as well!
