Sorry, I'm new to posting pictures. I didn't mean to post the same picture three times.

Very fine work on that cabinet! He is an excellent craftsman, as I am sure you know. Congratulations - :D
 
Wow, congratulations on your present! Looks fantastic, I'm sure you'll be able to keep many happy fish in there :D
 
Thanks. I am having a blast. Some of the fish were moved from a 10 gallon tank and were playing like crazy when I first moved them over.

The tank took weeks of planning and months to build. I was going nuts waiting for it to be done but now I know, it was worth the wait.
 
Outstanding workmanship. Dovetailed joints, full-extension hidden slides, European-style hidden hinges, Book matched teak... Top line materials. You would have to pay at LEAST $1500-$2000 for a manufactured cabinet of that quality. I like to pretend I can work with wood, but pieces like that remind me just how poor I am at it.

Congrats on the great gift and great husband.
 
ditto to everyone's praise. it's absolutely beautiful! and so professional looking. i am green! one of the nicest stands i've ever seen! oh yeah--and the tank looks good too :) do you have fish in there--or are you still cycling? just wait until it grows in--it will be STUNNING!
 
Congratulations, it is simply gorgeous. I wish I could borrow your husband, or at least his skills. Truly awesome! I am definately jealous!
 
My husband has read all of your comments and his head is now twice the size it was before he read all of the compliments.

I used biospira so my tank was cycled immediately. Right now I have two plecos, 4 rainbow fish, 2 SAE's, 3 Yoyo's and 4 Cory Cats in there. It is also my first planted tank so I am learning so much as I plant and add fish.
