    Thanks for all the comments!

    We are getting way excited now:)
    For awhile it seemed like we would never get it done.

    I have all the glass for the coral tanks...can't wait to build them.
    If I have enough energy I will be building one tonight!
    problem is we finished working on the store this morning at 2:00 and I had to be at the office at 6:00...not very much sleep!

    looks incredible. i really like the color scheme, and all that black around the tanks makes it look real sharp. always a pleasure to watch your progress.

    He's been crazy busy lately, so I'll give you what I've seen that's done.

    Coral tanks are all built and being plumbed into sumps. From the looks of them, I think they're about 6' X 6'. They will share a 75 gallon sump between each pair and are all plumbed with Bean Animal Overflows.

    The L.E.D. lights for the displays are still coming in daily, and they are being hung as fast as they come in.

    A lot of fish are finally in the store. All the displays and a lot of the sale tanks have fish in them now.

    It looks like it's pretty much down to getting the details done, getting it all cleaned up and keep bringing in the live stock.

    I'm not sure if he mentioned on here, the official grand opening is set for May 1st. It's been announced, so it's set in stone now! Just a couple weeks to go!
