Yea I've seen some really nice white ones. It is now completely ready to be painted. I'm currently leaning towards black because the trim on the tank is black and I already have enough black paint. Hopefully I will have time to paint it tomorrow.
Drill, skill saw, sander, air compressor & brad gun.
Traded in some coral today for 3 15lb (45lbs) of flamingo reef sand today. Got rid in some frags and my galaxea for it. I was wanting to get the special grade seaflor (1-2mm) but they did not have it. I did discover a sand I gave not heard of called flamingo reef. Its like the figi pink but the same grain size as the special grade. I think I will be very happy with it. I like the figi pink.

Got the tank drilled today! Man, I forget how nerve racking it can be. It was in the 40's outside but the water was cold! I used the same exact bits I used on my 38. The 1st hole took forever. The last 2 were a breeze. Bulkheads are in also. Now if I can find time to paint the stand and mount the doors.
Bulkheads are mounted. Back glass on tank & the stand is painted. Also got necessary plumbing part ready to go. All that's left is plumbing assembly & mounting doors. The hard part is going to be the transfer. Sump, overflow box, gate valve, & check valve are all being used on the new setup. I plan to cut the sump loose from the tank and cap it on on the 38. My skimmer is an hob so I can hang it up on the DT while I get everything hooked up to the 40. Its gonna be a process to say the least!
