Some sump Pics and a small acrylic tank for mushroom propagation. These guys at Clear choice fabrications near Seattle reallly look like they knocked it out of the park while keeping it reasonably priced. Can’t wait to receive it

Not much happening tank was re ordered with Joe from glass cages. Super excited they are a dream to work with. Sump is being finished up by Clear fabrications out of Seattle. GREAT COMPANY to work with with reasonable pricing.
Don't get them to build a metal stand. I had a 2" sq tubing stand made and it has a center high point. Saying it was from the heat of welding. If so and they know about it, then they should know how to weld and compensate for the heat distortion. Told me basically I'm on my own. Wants me to use shims to make up the 1/8th inch gap. I don't think so especially on a 260 gal Reef Savvy aquarium. So now I'm getting with a chassis fabricator to fix his jack up.

Can’t wait to see the tank I’m about to order almost its twin (84”x30”x25”) might be 96” if I can figure out how to get it in the house.
