Looking great!! I really like that color stain on the wood.
I had one suggestion for you on hiding the screws if you are looking for alternatives.
You can take them out, countnersink the holes so that you get the screw head about 1/4" below the surface. Then get a plug cutter bit and that will let you make 'plugs' that glue in over the screw heads. Makes for a really clean install.

I had thought about that, however, the way the stand will be trimmed, will hide all of the screw heads.

gotta love the deep dimension marinelands. ive been dreaming about one lately myself ! What are you going to use for lighting ? retrofits or a fixture ?
I'll be using a fixture, more like 2 fixtures...lol. To begin with, I'll be using the 6 bulb Tek5, T5HO fixture, that's currently on our 75. Soon, I'll add another 4 or 6 bulb Tek5 fixture, behind it. Unfortunately, even an 8 bulb Tek5 won't be large enough to do just one fixture...lol. Our 6 bulb fixture will cover half of the tank though!! LOL

I was just trying to say that the flow was going to be good and I dont think it would be too overkill on that big of a tank. It looks great though, i'm looking forward to seeing it up and runnin.
mike1441: gotta love the reeflo pumps, they are super efficient. and quiet.
EDIT: I thought Sid posted that, adams flow is fine! lol

LMAO now I'm no longer confused!! It's my old age showing.
WooHoo!!! We got a tank full of water!!! It's only freshwater, to test plumbing, flow and such. No leaks, stand is level, we're making progress!!
Yes, there's a mesh wheel in the skimmer collection cup...lol. Just put it there so I wouldn't lose it in all the clutter.
The Sea Swirl on the left hand side will have the locline added to it tomorrow. I wanted to see the flow with and without the locline Y.

YEAH WATER!!!!!!!!!! That is going to be SWEET! We were in your neck of the woods today to get some more stuff for our build as well. Is it going to be filled with all your AWESOME corals by club meeting time?
Yes, by meeting time, you should see it with livestock in it. By that time, the 75 and 46 should both be gone, as well.
Tomorrow's plan is to get A BUNCH of saltwater made up. Once that's done, I'll start adding live rock and sand.

I hope we can make it to the meeting but I am in the middle of switching jobs so I don't know what my new schedule will be.
I hope you're able to make it as well, but if now, you know you're always welcome to stop by whenever you're in town.
Just my opinion here sid, don't "Y" the outlets on the sea swirls, I thought it cut the flow to much on mine.
Looking good, how is the last haul doing, any casualties?
