Now being back from Gatlinburg Tn for 5 days, I can get back on my build.
Completed testing my 31 gal water sump for a week for leaks. Now I can empty it and start adding my dividers.

Trim completed. Trim on the front is attached with double sided tape so it can be removed, like when I install my sump.
Right now it is level.
Next, need to dry fit my plumbing.
Also start working on my aquascape. I can't decide on doing mounds or pedestals.

Water in tank, starting cycling. Shouldn't take to long. Used Caribsea arag-alive sand and add 9 gallons of Nature's Ocean Nutri-seawater. Ordered some Florida keys sand to mix in with sand and Florida mud to put into sump. Adding this to get bacteria into the tank. Will also will order some seeded live rock.
