Some more progress pictures. Granite bar top is in!
All of the trim is on and bondo is on all nail holes and joints. Electrical is all finished. I hope to have all of the plumbing wrapped up tomorrow

Here is a couple more of the QT. Everyone seems to be happy and healthy......so far. I did run I to a problem last week. I lost 2 fish without much warning. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, until today. Turns out my tank sits right under my shower drain, and it was leaking. Got it fixed today also..live and learn.

Dude, you are insanely productive. In the time it took you to do all that, I think I managed to:
a) Make a cup of coffee
b) Feed the cat
c) Clean the skimmer and change socks

After I get everything finished up I will start moving g around d the furniture to see where everything will end up. I just had a pin ball machine dropped off this evening, so still figuring things out.

It's an older original spy hunter machine. All the lights and everything still work! It was a great find.
This is looking awesome! I have a similar tank in the planning stages, 130" x 36" x 36". My biggest challenge/dread at this point is getting 1,300 lbs. of tank from floor to stand. Do you mind sharing how you lifted your tank into place onto the stand? Tricky physics or a pizza party for a gang of 25/200s (25 yrs. and under and over 200 lbs.)?

I hate it when people comment on things they don't know. I can tell you for a fact it is granite. I bought it, installed it, and drilled it. I can tell you with 100% certainty it is granite.
of course it is lol.
in my books man-made-quartz. and since you are in states, it is produced, most likely by cambria.

Granite and quartz are nearly indistinguishable and he didn’t give any close up pictures so why would you question him?of course it is lol.

I 'd hate to see this granite vs. quartz debate derail a great build thread. In the midst of that exchange, my earlier question sort of got buried. PT, I would still very much like to hear how you lifted the tank into place since I will be facing the same challenge in the near future with a 1300 lb. glass tank. Thanks!
