The stand is painted,stained and sealed. Trim is done, wiring is at 95%. Three weeks from now I’ll be filling it up! I’ll be picking up the diffuser this week. It’s cut just need to pick it up then I can stain and paint the canopy! Really been happy with how it’s coming along. Just a few weeks and I’ll be enjoying the effort!

Here goes guys...it’s done other than wiring in three things when I do the swap. I gotta get one more bag of sand and a 50 gallon trash can for mixing. Other than that it’s done. And here is a pic of the finished stand and canopy and diffuser with the lights on!

Nice looking build! I am also currently setting up a 50 lagoon. Love the footprint. Great looking stand.

Looks great!
One question, I am about to purchase the same tank and I have an Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB skimmer... I was concerned how is would work in this tank. Is the water level, high enough in the sump chamber to run the skimmer properly?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
