Looking good Mike!

I notice you have a drill bit kit on the floor...:loco:

Ya, pre drilled the holes for the trim pieces. The bottom is not attached yet, and I am going to build doors to enclose the bottom.

So far so good though!

Kinda what it will look like finished.

There are details that are yet to added, like hinges and door pulls! I am also going to trim out the edges and front with something.

Time for another update, I brought the good camera out!



This darn Chromis was insistent to sit here:

This pic has my Tort, pink lemon aid and setosa, should make for a pleasing visual once they are all grown up/

A closer full tank shot:


From the right pane looking in:


And finally, my view from the couch:


So far so good, I am getting very good growth on some pieces, some OK growth on others. I really like the "new" stand, it looks nearly finished. I still have the trim to do, and some sort of decoration to the front of the stand, I am thinking something brass.

Also, I am looking for opinions on the trim and finish moldings, any ideas?

Looks good Mike, definitely getting some nice noticeable growth on some of those pieces for sure :)


Stand looks pretty sweet too!!

I hope so Rev, I have several tall growers on the right, to fill in opposite the pillars on the left.

Very nice, Mike. I really like the stand as well.

I noticed the now enclosed stand was retaining quite a bit of heat, it was noticeably warmer in the stand then room temp. The tank is set for 75.5, and it was reaching 78. That was NOT acceptable! So I dug around in my fish box and found:

IceCap 120mm fan! That should take care of the cabinet heat nicely! :D

Did you have to drill a hole in the side to move the air out or was simply just moving the air around enough to cool it?

 

[skinz78]

Nice, I had to add a fan to my sump closet as well.
