Here are the photos from the weekends progress.

Electical is done (Missing wired inwall digital timer) Tank has it's own 15 amp circuit.
3 of the 4 Lights are hung.
Bottom supports incase I ever need a divider were put down (Waiting for pond armor to cover them)
Side wall modifications complete to support the egg crate to keep the fish out of heater area.

Used 2.5 gallons of pond armor already and waiting on my last gallon to arrive.

Stuff is advertised at 60 SQ/Ft of coverage per quart. But, the last 3 tanks I have built; I can only get 30 sq/ft out of it with out any leaks.

Good stuff when you can get it.

Just joined this forum to say, Congratulations on this build. You have done an amazing job and I could only dream of doing something like this.

Keep up the great work. Looking forward to future updates.

P.S. - To those who sat at work for hours reading this thing from start to current.... +1
