Was mostly completed but it was suggested that I beef the front up a bit with an additional brace and some gussets on the ends. Soooo, a little more work to go.

Joe said build it stronger. He and I discussed just putting a single support in the middle but that (in my mind) would take away from the design. So, I slept on the idea for a few weeks and came up with this.

I beefed up the header with a heavy piece of structural steel c chanel along with some some jack studs (if you will) and some gussets.

While I procrastinate on getting my big tank up and running I'm experimenting with my 120.

Added A CPR overflow, 2x 7" filter socks, a media reactor, moved the skimmer off the display and added a fresh air intake.

My son was consulting on the new design which was incredibly rewarding as a parent. :)
