Thanks Clayton! I'm very happy with the tank as far as size goes. I thought it was going to be easy to aquascape! That was far from true... The sump quality is fantastic! Bashsea makes a great product for sure. I will be using their reactors and possibly their skimmer if an upgrade is needed down the road.

Thank you dustint21, I love the size of your tank! That’s great to hear about Bashsea! I a, in absolute love with there sumps !

Got the stand tonight. Did a quick test fit. Everything looks great. Going to stain it this week. Hope to have water in the tank tomorrow!

Thanks! R2R is a great place, but it also is the devil! I was perfectly happy with my DIY Sumps and what not. Then I started doing some trolling on R2R and some of these guys just have a knack for building eye catching systems. @Broadfield and his amazing setup is what started a fire under my butt to make something that looked good. If it wasn’t for running across his setup on google I would have never taken the plunge into the color matching display sump style setup.

Really wish I could make water faster! Had a set back last night and poked a whole in my hose... had to get another hose before work this morning! Got 44 gallons made while I was at work. Now I will be up all night waiting for the last of it to be able to fill the tank!

You do the opposite of me Dustin. You're more detailed on your national build thread and less detailed on your local build thread. [emoji23]

Like I said on our local forum, clean build man. Looks sharp!
