Got the Canopy completed today! Unfortunately my drill charger died on me. I could not finish drilling the hinges for the last door yesterday. I had to Finish the door and paint the back today. This is why I only have 2 doors on.

[bwhit1406]

Thank you both very much. My back is sore from work so I wont be making any progress today.

Ok tough week at work had to work alot of overtime not much time to work on the tank. I am way behind where I wanted to be on this build, And way overbudget. I did make progress this weekend though. Close to being done with the plumbing, Lighting is almost done, water tested the tank and sump. Picked up a reactor and some Bio Pellets, I am not very familiar with the Bio Pellets but I have heard good things.

I got the muscle all lined up to move the tank this Monday. I am really excited to get this thing in place. Plus I may be able to park in my garage again one day! Due to the overwhelming results I will be painting the back of the tank black in the next day or two. Anyone in Florida interested in a 75 gallon tank? lol

 

[bwhit1406]

Gonna put the finishing touches on the 125 tommorrow morning and then breaking down the 75 tommorrow afternoon. Fish and coral headed to my temporary 55 and live rock going in plastic bins. Monday morning the 125 goes to its new home!
