Yeah who knows when that will be. The tank will be up and running long before the cabinets and hood are finished. I'm trying to find a cabinet builder that can do some of the stuff I want. Allot of it will be tricky and im not an experienced enough wood worker to try tackling it. I think I have a place picked out it s just a matter of if they will want the job and more importantly if I will be able to afford them. The work they do is downright amazing though.

Have you ever talked to Mark aka Cabby? He is a cabinet maker and owns his own business doing so. Might try and give him a jongle to see if he can help you out.

Got the walls all covered in PVC sheeting and vapor proofed. Most of the duct work is done. Tank is in place and all leveled up.

i have some rough ideas I've been tossing around. The only thing for sure is one piece I epoxied together to go in the front viewable corner of the tank. I've had it curing for about 5 months as it was made from dry dead rock but really cool piece so I decided to use it. The rest will all be established live rock but not sure what type yet or how it will be scaped in the end.

i need to save up for a couple sea swirls then I can plumb the return and really start thinking about scaping and getting the tank cycled while I figure out all the finish work.

You will beat me to water! Great job.

well I better slow down then.

Yep but ask him when he started this build.

Im Pretty sure it was 4 years ago or real close to it. If you consider the first I started with then I think it's been over 5 years.

I know finally! Its only been 4 years. lol

I just Finished the last of the plumbing Sunday. So I just need to do the leak test this weekend and its ready to fill. I really bummed I wont have you to do the finish work.

I need to drill the stand for the drain supports still then I can remove the shims and clamps.
