Well started on the build today. Got a lot done one the stand. Still a lot of work to go but feels good to finally get actually started. I test loaded about 450 lbs on it. No creaking or wobble. Next will be sheeting it.

Have made a lot of progress this weekend. Including the canopy entry and the dreaded bow on the canopy. After soaking the wood for 3 hours we were able to get the bend. Just the canopy top, a bit of sanding, door magnets and such and it will be ready for trim work.

Oh man.... It just got real in here at almost midnight lol . saw a for sale post and got my gears spinning. Take one of the overflow lines, plumb in to frag tank below DT that dumps to sump.... I'm gonna need a bigger return pump for a 5ft head now.... So worth it... Has a glass cages frag tank that been sitting for years.... And it fits perfect in stand! And I almost tossed it last move.

Back to the drawing board.

Been awhile since I updated. Tank tonight finally got water in it thanks to my neighbor brad. He loaned us a dolly and brut container and we made two runs. Needless to say the stand finally got finished. The order of rock sand and salt came today. Very excited to finally to have the cycle started.

Man, that is a really cool setup! I love how that frag tank fits in there. Nice!
