It me me 5 years to get her up and running and now it has had water in it 2 years come this February. I absolutely love the challenge. My wife has said you need more color here or you need more fish, it is nice she takes some interest in it. I did all the wiring, plumbing building the stand out of cherry. I have to build the hood yet which my plan is to put linear actuators on it so it rises to the ceiling so I can work in it.
