The tank is installed - I didnt' get a pic of it in position, but here it is on the custom cabinet base... it took 4 of us to lift it up. The top they built is extremely flat and perfectly level, but I still used a thin layer of blue fan-fold foam.
You can see the two dual outlets I had installed, right where the ballasts will sit in the (very large) canopy.
The cabinet panels will go on in a few days, as well as the canopy. Today
I got the holes cut for the drains/returns today. Keeping the rubber washers on the bottom of the overflow tubes is tricky, I need to use a drop of silicone to hold them on or something.
I also removed the "All-Glass" sign from the front
(later update)
The tank is set. The panels for the front and back are onsite, and going on first thing in the AM, cause the staining guys are ready to go. By tomorrow this time, it should look pretty much done, just missing the sanding and laquer coats.
I need to tape off the top, front, and sides of the tank before they do that.
I hope I got the bulkheads tight enough -the tool included with the overflow kit couldn't reach up in there very well, but I got them as tight as I could. They seem solid.
