    Lol! Everyones all about the alcohol!

    Gonna pick up the stand on Thursday and bring it home to do a little work to it like fitting the sump and running all the electrical boxes. I'll go back for the tank on Saturday while I'll have help to lift it. Getting so close!!!!

    Thanks everyone! Just getting everything prepared for this evening when a bunch of friends are coming over to give me a hand lifting this 450 lbs monster, lol!

    Switch panels hooked up!

    And got the wires all cleaned up, just ready to get the tank on the stand and start filling it up with water! Got power to the sump light, fan, and reactor pumps.

    I love the space the wide tank leaves under the stand. Looking great.
