    I know. I was thinking about adding him to the list. He/she have a great personality. But I truly don't think that it'll make the bucket list.

    Wow Bruh. It took me 2 days with my busy schedule to catch up on your thread. You got a lot done. The floor and stand look great.

    I finalized the stand. I painted the inside white with 3 coats of Killz primer/sealant. I then added a shower liner to further waterproof the stand. I used this type of nail to hold the liner.

    I formed the liner and tacked the outside about every 12 inches.

    And on the inside vertically.

    Now I have to move the sump and maybe fuge underneath.

    Nice, is this to help tank mates get accustomed to a new comer?

    Do you plan to quarantine once you've added the initial live stock? What plans do you have in that area?

    It is used to help tank mates get accustomed. I still have a 65 gallon tank that I use to quarantine all my fish before they make it to the DT.

    Well the outside is still pink. I painted the inside white with a primer/sealant so when I need to use a light to see inside it will not get absorbed by the pink.

    You're so close! You need to have a "tank assembly" party and get that thing done! :)

    I'm impressed with your patience on this build man. A great example of doing it right to get what you want.
