I will continue to use my 2 150's on this tank, if I need more, my ballasts and reflectors can be upgraded to 250's.

listen2bob · 03/29/2015, 07:41 PM

Inside painted.

stain is almost complete, another coat or so

three-quarter inch furniture quality birch

Ted_C · 03/30/2015, 10:55 AM

ahh - the glory of air tools and painting / staining. It does a much better job than brushing it on.

Looking good!

creefer01 · 03/30/2015, 11:04 AM

Very nice!! I like the idea of a tank like that with a sitting area around it. I tried to convince the wife that it was a good idea, but got shot down.

listen2bob · 03/31/2015, 07:13 PM

More progress. Stand is done aside from the doors and granite.

Reefpilot11 · 03/31/2015, 08:03 PM

Very nice love the cherry color

robthorn · 04/01/2015, 08:38 PM

Looking good.

listen2bob · 04/01/2015, 09:56 PM

Thanks everyone, it is coming along nicely. Canopy is almost finished.
anybody have any fancy tricks for getting colonies off overflows and returns?

Nwest · 04/02/2015, 11:03 AM

close your eyes and pull!

bigzman · 04/02/2015, 04:24 PM
