Looking good, excited to see where this goes.

Hopefully leak testing next week

Canopy is fitted, plumbing starts this weekend and then I can move the tank to its final spot and level it out. Tap water leak test to start on Monday hopefully

leak test complete, no real issues. Emptied and filled wil RODI which took about 3-1/2 days.
Doing a lightless cycle now and still have some cleanup (wires) to complete.

Good afternoon I saw this post and am currently in the process of building my tank out and curious what your thoughts were on the glass cages tank as well as where you got the aluminum for the stand? I am also in metro Detroit (Novi)

I would buy from @Joe Glass Cages again, no questions asked. I got the stand from here: https://www.framingtech.com/solutions/aquarium-stands/

great build! I have been talking to Joe for IDK cpl years about a large build.

I like how you skinned the stand can you tell us more about it plz :)

Oh that was super simple. I made it like you would a large cabinet door. Then just mounted 20 lb neodymium magnets to keep them from falling forward. They just sit on a lip I made from aluminum angle.

I figured it was something like that. do the doors open interdependently or does the whole thing just slide out/off?

The front of the hood swings open. The panels just come off, no real door. I’ll get some pics tomorrow
