Congrats can't wait for more pics.

thank you, I'm recovering from nasal surgery as of today but hoping to get this going soon.

got one quote for the stand/canopy back, gonna get a few others and go from there. wasn't cheap lol..

 

[JPC1974]

Yeah they're not cheap at all looking forward to seeing the finished product.

got quoted 1500. which initially took me back, but i have to take into consideration all the detail work and crown molding. plus the stand would have side access panels for sump removal (hopefully i never have to do that, but nice to know i can) one of which would have an electronics bay, separating everything electrical from the sump area and keeping things tidy and a hydraulic assist front hatch.. s0 essentially id get something that will last for a long time and its exactly what i want

Wow can't wait to see it.

 

[Reef Fever]

just for fun, this was the last pic of the tank I took before it was torn down

 

[JPC1974]

Wow that is nice

 

[JPC1974]

Sorry it took so long to reply busy at work

 

[Reef Fever]

Wow that is nice

Thanks! hopefully this time around it will be nicer!

 

[JPC1974]

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

So I am going through with getting new furniture made. I feel the detail alone in the stand will make the cost well worth it.

In the left pillar I will be able to hide the Co2 tank for my calcium reactor, on the right pillar all the electronics will be hidden in there to prevent any water coming in contact with them. both sides and the front will be removable for easy access

Hood will be hinged like so...

 

[Reef Fever]

deposit made on the furniture. should be about a month turn around. once i get it back i think i will start a new build thread
