I have had a lot going on the last few days .New additions and the loss of a few fish my beloved Naso in my 220 . I had him for 4 years + . I was hoping to have it many more .SIGH

The stand is built and sanded . I am still deciding on white or black .

My Aunt is a home designer and will work her magic on the stand .

The X Aqua X in-Out was not a cake walk . It took going through 3 templates before we decided it was okay to drill . The cold weather did not help .

This is right before the drilling started.Clamped down and ready to go .

It is all done . A small bead of silicone had to used for insurance since the seals were too poor .

The tank being filled for a water test of the x aqua x in- out . We used a 5 gallon tank connected to a mag5 pump to test it . You can't see the 5 gallon because it is below the back deck .
No drain hose was connected .

Decided not to use the video . It didn't look that great .
The unit did pulse which is a big plus .

That's it for now .

Got some trim cleaning to do and added another coat . It looks like it needs another coat .

Trying to get it upstaris in my man cave .. I did not measure the door correctly . The door opening appears to be shorter on the bottom than the top .
