Jackie and Glenns 180g Reef Build

[prsnlty]

Here are a couple more pics with some lights on. 1st only leds w/ sun coming up. Then added whites and after 10am ill get one of the full lighting which adds the 4 blue+ and leds in full.

I'll be installing door knobs and sanding today. Don't know if I'll get to the painting part though.

Still have to create the electric panel and a pop off door on both sides near the wall but that'll be a little later.

This is the end that will have the electric panel. Controllers on the outside, wiring on the inside. It will be accessed from the otherside removable panel.

Thank you for taking the time to read our long build thread!

Awesome setup. Love the wood work! !

Thank you all!!! Just a couple more things left to do and we're calling it finished (except for the tank and corals of course). Woodworking is one thing we do very well together so this has been a lot of fun and a way to get Glenn involved (... and on my side ). He loves reefing now almost as much as I do!

That is very nice! The attention to detail with just enough detail to not over do it!

Just went through every page and watched your setup...congratulations! What a great tank, you did a phenomenal job. I am imagining my upgrade as we speak...and I'm talking a few years from now...guess that gives me plenty of time to plan, lol

Thank you Stephanie! Being in Maine I am sure you see this type of trim work a lot. In Florida it actually isn't that common. Since I am originally from NJ I miss it. My tank stand and canopy match the interior of our house (that we did also).

I saw a thread today in a cephalopod forum and he made columns for his tank, almost exactly like yours. Yours are better though.

Haha, he might have gotten the idea from me. Were his operational or just for looks? I have instructions (the gist of it - not detailed) on how to make them here and there

Thank you for liking mine better!

Thank you! From floor to top of the stand is 41.5" and from floor to the top of the canopy is 6'10". The tank is inset on the stand by 2.5" and the canopy height is 19.5"
