Man, miss a day of forum reading and you already got that bad boy setup! Looks good. Can't wait to see pics with the fish in it!

My fish are trained Special Ops that go though cycles like Rangers go though a war zone. Nah, with as much water volume, small number and size of fishes, and already live rock, there isn't going to be much of a cycle. I also added some Dr. Tim's to help with denitrifying bacteria along with some other types of denitrifying bacteria.

I needed to add this important aspect to this build thread. Because it is very important while breaking down the existing tank to wear comfortable clothing.

Mitch shows off here exactly how it's done.

I'm just glad I wasn't showing plumbers butt. Bwahahahahahah

Update: Last night I finally got under the house and put in some support beams. Maybe tonight I will work on the doors(staining) as I wait for my remaining LED to come in.

No need. They are merely there to prevent the floor from sagging over time. The floor is capable of the load.

Canopy and lights are up. Now I just have to finish the doors for the canopy and stain them.
