Nice work

Really great work! Nicely done!

Thanks!!

I completely forgot to take my camera down with me when I finished the doors so I took the pics with my iPhone...not the greatest and really does not show off the trim but you get the idea.

 

[Ziggy953]

Nice work

Thanks!!

I'm getting excited! I am so close to getting this finished and in the house.

What do you think??

Well, I have to say... it looks way better than I envisioned it. I was expecting a hershey bar with a tank on top. That looks great.

 

[Ziggy953]

Got the optics mounted to the LEDs this evening. I'm off tomorrow and I plan to get as much done as possible this weekend. I would really like to have the tank in the house!

I've pretty much decided to drill the bottom of the tank rather than the back. The bottom is not tempered so I should not have issues. Let me hear your comments gang!!!

A Couple quick pics of the stand.

Cut out for plumbing. Ive ordered my overflow and I'm going to drill the bottom of the tank rather than the back.

Canopy has been primed

Test spot of the finish color...Espresso Brown

I think the time on your camera is off... or you've managed to do something only seen in movies until now.

Thanks for catching that...of course it was the most important part of the image...

it's not off it's just on the 24 hr military time. easily done in real life and not just the movies

I think the color is going to look really good. Nice job. what kind of primer are you using?

 

[Ziggy953]

Actually it was off...it's fixed now

 

[Ziggy953]

So here are some pics of the LEDS with optics installed...

Yes my dining room has stripes...

It's Rustoleum primer...

 

[FishEggs]

it looks like the red oxide primer usually used on steel.

The pic makes it look much more red than it really is. Its actually brown and for wood or plastics.

No problem. Glad to help (thanks for pointing out the algae in my pics )


Looks really nice so far. I'm actually very excited to see this thing set up. Oh... and glad to see that you finally made a decision on a skimmer!

 

[Ziggy953]

Ironic that it was not one of my original choices.....

So I am at a stand still....Rivets I got wont work for the heatsink...the grip is too short. I got 1/8" and I need 1/4".... Home Depot later this evening....

I need to get the hardibacker board for the tile...ugh I'm never gonna finish this
