I started building the stand tonight. The bottom frame is dry fitted together as are two parts of the legs as seen in the attached pictures. Later on this morning or early afternoon I will be doing a marathon building session due to the fact we are getting four inches of rain Sunday and Monday. In fact it will be raining most of the week off and on.
I am extremely fortunate that my wife is supporting me in this endeavor. In fact if not for her I wouldn't have the tank. As you can see in the pics I have all the tools where I am working and the wood is taking over the living room. My wife has been really good about it.
I have been binge watching reef related videos lately. I was sure I wanted halides for this build but after a video I watched about reef lighting I am not so sure now. I want the best lighting for the corals and if possible I want the shimmer effect also. Coral health is my priority however. Thankfully I won't need to decide tonight but I hope to figure it out soon.
