    Ya nothing but concrete beneath it.

    Just in the process of leveling and patching the concrete as we speak

    Thats going to be a sweet size tank Jason. The aquascaping possibilities are going to be great with a 3' wide tank. Just so much more room for the rockwork. I got reefer envy.;D Get those pics comming.
    Best, Scott
