So it has taken a little longer than planned but im making progress. Stand and tank are in place. Just need to finish plumbing the sump, put hinges on the doors and hang the light. Hoping to have that done tommorow.

Thanks laurie! Iv made some progress in the last few days. Iv finally got it plumbed and filled it with water and added my sand. I just need to hang my light and put doors on the stand. Tommorow i will be adding some rock and playing around with rock scapes. I put the lights on top of my tank just to see how it looked so its a little close to the water right now. Im also only running 3 of the 5 bulbs.



Still have lots to do in the sump area but at least its running right now.





Will have more updates soon.

So rockwork is done and light is hung. Just have to put stand doors on and get more flow. Let the waiting game begin.
