Come on Kris, where did you see this tank? Online right? Well then this is just an e-tank, with e-water.

Sheeesh, do I have explain everything?

 

[nanoreefer22]

[Tonyscoots84]

[masterswimmer]

thanks mike. Kris and russ :iamwithst :lol2:

Toughen up my brotha. Can't be too thin skinned in this neck of the woods. Now go make some virtual water for that virtual tank of yours. :hug:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Russ you out of all people should know how thick my skin is .. I'm going to get my virtual tank on my virtual stand tonite

 

[LatinP]

That's a really nice clean look Tony, what are you doing for the door compartments?

 

[Hockeynut]

That's some pretty nice woodworking, is your uncle a carpenter?
Have you started to do some preliminary rock designs with that much depth you really have a lot of options.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Thanks guys.

Latin im so messed up in my head right now getting everything ready. I have so many ideas for the doors. First they are going to be inset doors but i wanted to do the front doors frosted glass in the wood with a fancy script S on both etched in. But I'm prob. just going to take the easy route and just do the door in wood only.

hockey my uncle is a carpenter and so is my father who taught me everything i know. My uncle has helped me alot with cutting all the skinning and trim (He does Trim work for very big houses). With the rock work we are just going to let the reef gods shine on us that day and wing it

[Tonyscoots84]

Looks good T. May want to cut those down legs into the sump from the drains and put a union on each. Makes changing socks easier and allows you to remove the sump a lot easier should that be needed.
