    Haha don't get me started on WalMart. I took a Soc class and the whole thing was about those stores - Wal Mart, Money Tree, etc.

    I can't wait! I'm so excited for you!!

    You are redoing the stand too? Well I suppose that is easier with the tank not on it! hehe

    It's the same design / color ... but will be better made. There were some finish issues on the current one.

    Long story short, Ocea had some internal issues that got worked out very quickly. They have made everything right - so I hear. Once I see everything tomorrow I will have proof in hand I suspect :)

    Tank and a new stand and canopy arrived today :) Very nice.

    I need to get the bulkheads from the LFS this weekend and will start plumbing it. Putting the black background on this weekend too.

    My 2x 2 Azoo fans arrived. I have some Yate Loon 120mm fans, grills, and molex to AC adapter on the way for the canopy for ventilation as well - high flow PC fans that I'm going to attach to the top of the canopy to blow air out the top, and the Azoos will suck air in to the canopy. Then I'm drilling a series of holes in the rear to assist with venting.

    Still need to build the sump. Going to be a couple weeks before this thing sees water it seems.

    Thanks guys :)

    What's funny is I have no idea what color the stand and canopy is. It's not the same color as before. It's kind of .. dark with red tint, not quite oak, not quite cherry. Maybe a different, weird color cherry. It looks pretty sweet after I settled down from being PO'ed about it.

    Haha you're so uptight! ;) Just kidding.

    I'm sure it looks wonderful! If you kept it, it must be pretty.
