Hope to get tank on the stand this weekend with the oak top & styro so I can start the plumbing. Acrylic on order for sump, pick up Monday. Will post some more pic's soon.

[Rahim101]

how much did the acrylic cost you?

[The Grizz]

With my design there is a total of 18 piece's and enough Weldon #4 to do the job for $220 + the good old gouge & screw tax.

Greg, If we dont get some serious product shots..........

Hows it all looking..

[The Grizz]

I will try to get something done on it tomorrow so that I have something to show. I thought maybe I would go for the record of the worlds longest tank build, lol. Maybe this time I might get at least a 1 star rating on this thread.

Ok you asked for more pics so here are a few.

Stand all painted and ready for oak surround. I hope to go get the finishing wood tomorrow.


Started building my acrylic sump today. It is not as easy as it should look but I found a trick to it. Got the 2 ends and the front panel attached today and have figured out the rest of the layout. Hope to get some more of it together tomorrow.





And here is a teaser shot of the back of the tank,lol. To heavy to turn around by myself.
