A real nice feature is that you can shut off any given item with just a flick of a switch.

Couple detail shot of one of the pillars





I am pretty happy how th paint turned out considering I was using a paint brush

Next on the to do list,

1 - figure out what I am going to do about the doors. May build them or may purchase them from the supplier of our kitchen cabinets so they will match our kitchen.

2 - I have an electrical outlet in line with the tank on the wall it is butting up against. May looking at mounting a few electrical boxes in my stand and jumping the outlet from the wall.

3 - Time to start building the sump - I am really looking forward to this and will start it soon!

Nice Stand. Gives me Ideas for what I want my stand should look like. Stands should look like fine piece of furniture.

Thanks Reef!

I lucked out on this as I am not a finish carpenter in any way. I used some other builds on here as a guide with my own touch.

I would not call it a "fine piece of furiture" though

What I didnt want, as someone else said;

"something the size of a fridge in the middle of my family room looking nasty!"

I am a sucker for the old world column or piller looking designs. Has a classer look then a big retro white box.

While waiting for my tank to be built......taking too LONG! not really but to me it is lol

I figured I would post a few shots

Timerers and skimmer doing thier thing, one thing you cant see is above the left timer is a powerhead power thingy, alternating the power to the powerheads.



Sump doing its thing:



Some shelving I made with 3/8" plexi - nice to have storgage!

Here is some tank shots:

This is the temp. return line. My new tank is going to be eurbraced and the return line will run along it. I am probably putting a canopy on it so it wont be seen. Hard part with the canopy is I would be covering up that nice light!

Sweet!
The corals look real happy and so does the anemone & friends.
I'm seriously jealous of your plumbing & especially the electrical work - It looks like you don't have to do the limbo to get around & do maintenance

It is fine for now, it is going to get tighter.

I will be adding a few other items in there as time and funds become available.
