hatfielj's 600+ gallon SPS system build

A lot of updates coming soon! The tank is now live:) I've been busy getting it running, which took a couple of weeks and I'm now working on transferring corals from my old tank. I'll try to get pics soon.
 
Also, before starting to work on the plumbing the last week or so, I also started working on the stand cover for the frag tank. It’s turning out really nice. I’m excited for the finished product. I have to build doors for it still but that’s on hold until I finish the plumbing. It’s being built using Cherry which I plan on finishing with a natural, water resistant finish of some sort.

This stand came out awesome. Did you use a round over bit on the edges?.. I am about to start a similar stand with white oak. I order my lumber from baird bros about 3 years ago but worried i will need more pieces and just overthinking it. Today is the day i make the first cut..
