Currently waiting on plumbing from BulkReefSupply. Drywall finishers completing the flush wall work tomorrow.

Peninsula style coast to coast overflow. Cantilevered steel stand so tank can sit in garage and tank is flush over the framework with living room wall. Stand is 48” as there is a 1.5” height difference between living room floor and garage floor. Also, Thank our higher powers that Planet Aquariums builds such amazing stands that the self levelers are extremely durable and were able to make up the 2”+ inch floor difference in the sloping garage floor.

Thank you all for the kind words and for following along. We had a slight hiccup with electricians and drywall finisher so Drywall Paul just finished the flush portion and texture. Paint will come tomorrow. I also started putting some rock into the tank to start more of the rockscaping. Note none of this rock will end up staying where it is currently.
