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 ...

Ok addicts the stand has moved in from the garage YAY!. The sump needs to be dropped in from the top so here is a shot of the stand with the top off. That's the wall the tank will permanently house.
