Thanx. Just a couple of posts left to go.
Working on stand right now. Will try to get through as much of that this weekend.
 
wow looks nice! Filler up already!
 
Yeah, no prob.
Maybe sometime in the fall or beyond before any fish. Still a lot of work left.

PM me before you start your tank.

Thanx.
 
Time to do the water test.
We put the tank on a pallet and start to fill. After it's filled we let it sit for about 2hrs. No problems so far.

About an hour after filling I checked for bowing. Looks like it only bowed about an 1/8" at the top.

After the two hrs I drained the tank (the pump and white hose in the pic) and inspected the silicone. Looks good. Time to take the beast home.

The rest.
The first pic is the front of the tank checking for bowing.
The second is a shot of the top rail and the third is with a cheezy aquarium light we found in the shop.

The beast is finally done. It needs trimming and finishing but I'll wait on that. Now on to the stand.
