Nice! I can't wait to see it come together!!

wow very nice guys love the red colored rock you went with

Thanks so much guys!

Nice looking quality work there!

Thanks Chris! We're really pleased with the work on the stand. Since it's replacing the table in our breakfast nook, I wanted to make sure it would be a nice multi-functional piece of furniture that looks like it belongs in the room.

looks awesome, did you order the tank from Linda?

Thank you! We did order the tank from Lynda and she was awesome. The day our tank came in at her shop, Kim and Eric were there to pic up their 75g tank. She roped them into delivering our tank to us, LOL. Blew me away as it was the last thing I would have expected. It was really cool of them to bring it to us and an opportunity for me to finally meet them in person.

Hahah, yes it is!

Id love to get one, they are cool tanks at a good price
They really are a good deal for the price. We love the dimensions. I'd love to get the 4'x2' version.

Not yet. We were out-of-town the past couple of days. We should have the stand either tomorrow or Wednesday. We also picked out the granite for the counter top today.

We decided to take advantage of the MarineDepot 10% off sale today and ordered some much needed goodies for the new tank.

(1) Ecoxotic Panorama Pro 24" Fixture with tank mount
(2) Ecoxotic Panorama RGB modules
(2) Tunze 6095 nano streams (we're going to swap these with (2) of the 6055's from the 300.
(1) Tunze 7096 controller

Tank should be up by the time the new toys arrive. :bigsmile:

I am so excited!!! The stand was delivered today while I was out shopping...

It is sitting in our garage until Mike gets home and I have to say it is BEAUTIFUL! Here are a couple of pics:

Awesome!!!!!!

It should be! You helped build it!

Sweet looking stand!

Thanks Chris!

Since the tank cannot sit in direct sunlight, we ordered top-down, bottom-up shades w/black-out fabric. Mike installed them this past weekend:

Our neighbor was kind enough to come over and help get this beast of a stand up our steps and into the breakfast nook this evening:

We're very pleased with how the bar/stand turned out and can't wait to get the granite installed...
