The tank and sump were delivered later that night. Finished stage 1 of the cabinet build. But needed help to lift the tank into place.

Next, got the tank onto the stand, finished the floor of the cabinet and got the sump in place.

Next the aquascape design. Lots of gorgeous pieces to choose from. Want a high wall at the back that gently slopes down toward the front with lots of dynamic peaks and valleys and hiding places for the fish.

So excited to have water in the tank! A bit cloudy, but I'm sure it'll clear up nicely.

Neptune system install, including Apex, two FMM mods (one for an auto-top-off kit, the other for a leak detection system), and the COR.
