So today I picked up everything I was getting built, and had ordered, Thanks Martin for the AI, and stand up friendly service!
Spent the better part of the day hanging out with Greg, and Martin as well, as we tackled the tank build.
I will post photos below!
First off, you can see I have joined the sump club! Thanks for the know how and the help on this Greg!

Here is a FTS of my hand built oak stand, came out nicely!

And The Cream of the crop!
I designed an AI mount, and Greg helped me make it a reality, thanks to him as always for all the support


All that is left at this point Is to make my stand pipes, and plumbing, as well as find a 400-800gph return pump, and I'm ready to rock.
I will post some better pics in a bit, companies here so I can only be absent for so long

The door is a little bit out of square lol but you can't tell unless you stare at it hahaha. I'm hoping to mount the ARM on tomorrow for a dry run.
I can't wait to get this thing wet.

I didn't think the overflow I built you turned out that bad that you had to hide it behind the AI Sol boxes .

Can't wait either, its going to be a tricky one for sure! I want to try to steer away from the classic, cube "pile" look. hopefully next weekend I can get the plumbing done, and maybe the aquascape too
