    Dang! Sick build dude, I love overkill nano's. And nice work on that external overflow, that's probably what I needed to do with my 12 gallon long. This is gonna be a clean setup man.

    Thanks bud! I can't wait till i start filing it up! :D :D

    Ok the snow storm is delaying the final piece to arrive! I really wanted to get it wet this weekend, but i got some stuff done instead:
    - Hung the light
    - Sanded and prepped the stand for finishing up
    - Scored a Remora S skimmer and cleaned the heck out of it
    - Made the screen top
    - Took some pics! ;)

    Looking awesome, man :) You may have already said this, but what did you use for the screen top?

    Soooo...you'll paint the inside of the stand, but the painting the back glass is like blasphemy?!

    I do like the stand!
