Tile is down and almost all the trim is done.

That is an amazing stand! I was wondering why the top was hanging over so much in the earlier pics, but realized as soon as I saw the bar in the background that it would be extra seating. The trim is absolutely incredible and adds so much to the overall appearance. Great job! Can you build one for me? lol

OK!!!! Been a while. I ruptured my Distal biceps tendon and had it surgical reattached so i had 3 months of time to build this tank. Now that I am back to work it seems that every spare time i have is making this tank perfect (no such thing but being a surgical nurse it is my only outcome acceptable). To follow is the tank, the auto top off, and just finished the auto water change. I mix salt once a week and leave it alone. It will take off 3 gallons a day. This takes in consideration of a tank that is 165 gallons (140 gallons of usable water, and a 40 gallon sump that is most likely 30 gallon usable by the time u consider live rock, pump, socks, and protein pump).
