    Some new silicone is in order. So out with the old.

    And in with a new black look. I liked how other tanks looked when I saw black edges, so I couldn't resist.

    Got the main support stand done. The Mrs is still not happy....::) I told her today, "You can't rush perfection dear" , I think I have one more use of that saying. If anybody has more good quotes for me I'd be grateful.

    I like to think everything is ghetto until it gets the job done. ;D So far I'm stoked at how straight and easy the cuts came out. (subscribed to the diy table saw) lol.........Still, I don't recommend it though, no safety guard and I use a power strip for the on/off switch.

    From a birds eye view, you can see that right on the other side of the wall from where my tank is going, I have a shower. My plan is to tap into the water source, and turn my spare bedroom's full bath into a half bath, and have my own sump room. One thing I get sick of is not having any space or head room under my 55. I figure with a full vertical 8 feet I'll be much more comfortable. As well as having a pre plumbed drain pipe, it's perfect. I just have to figure out how I'm going to get a DJ power controller to individually turn on and off items from another room. As well as keep everything water proof from one room to the next. I have a lot of work to do. ;D
