Tank Entry

Hello! So I've been slacking! Blame it on work... ok let me bring you guys up to speed...
The back of the tank was painted black.


The sump was dropped in from the top of the stand. There is insulation inside the stand (the guy who built it suggested it) at first I thought it would not be a good idea turns out its a great idea keeps the water real cool and muffles the water/skimmer noise in the ...

It was water tested for 3 days so far so good! Its and Oceanic 210 gal tank 7x2x2 with ...

The 120 will have to be moved and the stand will have to be centered on the wall prior to dropping the sump into the stand. There's no way to push the stand without ...
