Well here are some updates:
More construction on the stand and getting ahead on the lighting. Messed up on the stand with the wood but it turned out ok. I actually used the wrong side of the plywood....oops. Thank you Steve for the acrylic scraps and the glue repairs haahaa!  Getting near done, but I need to install the lights in the hood and get the last bits of wood on the hood around the tank perimeter.  I will get a construction tally for applicable cost for the budget once I am done, then comes livestock and water changes haahaa! The entire tank theme will be space oriented. Rock work, inhabitants, corals, hopefully everything will have a spin on it but we will see. The livestock budget is going to get tight but we will do our best! Game On! Wendy & Scott

Haahaa, we are actually staining it red mahogany... which just so happens to be the same colour as the wood you see on the inside of the stand...hence my mistake lol!
