Let my future wife's nightmare begin! (90 mixed reef build)

So at last, my fiance agreed to letting me have a 90 RR! I've been in and out of saltwater for 6 years and had a 20 long setup for 2. Had a bad crash with the corals due to moving and weather here in South Texas but, my 3 amigos plus 1, made through! They consist of a pygmy pink streak wrasse, 1 tail spot goby and the duo of a goby and pistol shrimp. These guys are great and very personable and will be very happy to see them in their new home. so this my first build thread so bare with my rambling at times. Ill update here in a bit woth pics of the tank and what I have going on so far.

 

Awesome!! Cannot wait to see the progress!! I always wanted a goby/pistol shrimp duo haha!

 

What was she thinking!? JK

Let's see those pics. I bet your excited for the extra room?

I live in Austin so hello fellow Texan.

 

pics plz!

 

Soon. Sadly I got sucked into stuff at work so I'm having to stay a lil late.

 

Just 2 pics for now. Took the canopy out and did a test on how the paint would look I have chosen to paint it with. Came out a lot better then I hoped so tomorrow gonna get 3 more cans. First I wanna plastidip the hinges and anything that's metal on the stand. Figured it'll help the longitivity of the metal on the stand and the paint will help keep the salt creep off the wood.

 

Lol forgot to post the pics

 

nice looking tank!

 

And so let the mayhem in our new house and room begin! Got all the plumbi plumbing I need to get it hooked up and painted the stand and canopy. It was hot and sunny here so it dried quite fast. Just gotta wait for a buddy of mine to come over so we can put the tank on the stand. Fiance already pinned her arm between the stand and a wall so she's had it for today.

 

is that a bulldog? also, probably a stupid question but your stand will be the same length as your tank correct?
