Lol, nothing to report there yet. I'm close to being done this pendant, and once that is done, then I can get the stand finished, which shouldn't take too long. Then once that is done, I can get the tank in place and up and running. The light fixture is taking a lot of time, but I think its going to be worth it.

I've been with the hobby for about eight months and currently own a IM Nuvo 38G mixed. I am looking forward to this build since I missed your 120G. I plan on eventually upgrading to a 120G rimless (48x24x24) and wondering if you have any recommendations or insight at all. Thanks!

So far everything is looking good. Hope to see water soon I will wait patiently as I am sure it will be worth it. Any concern about the heat from light and the wood surround? Any plans for a small fan to move air past the heatsinks? Just wondering as I have never tried this.

In all seriousness, nothing too special, but hope it works with the rest of my stand and tank both from a functions and aesthetics perspective.

Really trying to put the push on to get this up and running sooner rather than later. Stand primed/sealed with two coats, urethane to go on top. 1 step closer. Baby steps!

Another night of work, another update. Got the beam support system for my stand that will hold my lighting in place and screwed, glued and given one coat of stain. Also coated the inside of the stand with urethane.
The white balance isn't bang on (its more yellow in the pictures than it will look when placed in the tank room), but I'm very pleased at how the colour of the stain looks, and how the wood turned out. Still needs another light coat of stain, and some varathane finish on top, but heading in the right direction, and nice to finally start seeing what I had visualized in terms of setup and design.
