Our first SW tank - 180 gal build

[Lampshade]

Just give it a good weatherproof paint with a sealer, should keep everything happy. I think it will look great once finished, the tank fits so well in the wall having the whole stand and everything flush would have looked off unless it perfectly matched. The only thing that could be a pain is to check when your sitting down if you can see into the lights in the canopy. I used to have a tank beside my TV and i could see the bulbs, it was very distracting when watching TV. haha. Looks great though, good job so far.

Tanks cleared up a bit..


And the new NS Apex came in the mail today courtesy of concept aquatics:


Looks like I wasn't the only one excited about the parcel:

Yeah, I'm one of those parents who shamelessly posts photos on my kid

And here's the sump getting ready to be hooked up:

As far as the platform being not very waterproof we are simply going to seal it and sillicone the edges to wall so that water can't run in behind it easily in the event of a spill.

Also our basement is unfinished so if need be we can access under the platform from the basement if all things go south with this platform.
