Optimist's 72 thread!

Thank you Johnnie! I can't wait to put it together, just been waiting for 3 weeks to get a big enough order together to hit the minimum requirement.
It should be in this afternoon.
Thank you for the compliments on the stand too. I am really happy with how it came out and the color was exactly what I wanted. I am even more happy that it houses all my stuff under it and still looks somewhat decent. But, I do appreciate the compliments, makes me feel better.

 

Wow! It's looking fantastic!

 

Thank you, I am putting my personal touch to it. I want to have something to leave behind in the event that I don't come back from Afghanistan... as bad as that sounds.
I am trying to do quality but still give it some mess ups for character. I also want to engrave my name on it some where. That way a piece of me is here or my "energy" is in it from giving it my all. If they can't keep the coral and fish in it, they can fill the tank full of memories and atleast have the furniture present.

Thank you for the compliment.

 

Looking great!! I love bowfronts!!!

 

Thank you Kirkland! I wanted a half round but it was out of budget for now. I like the bows too... just hated building the stand to accommodate it! Def woulda been easier building a rectangle stand for a 150... lol

Stay posted, sand and A.R.M. bones are supposed to arrive today!!!!!
whoooo hooooo!

Looking good. Nice work,

Draw some diagrams on how your going to circulate the water flow inside of the DT. I bet the bow helps with the movement. I bet that you can have corals from deeper water closer to the front-center of the bow, kind of like a shelf. You're the man!
