Sorry everyone, I was really busy at work yesterday.

Here we go.....

Basement gutted and framing done.

Here is the stand for my 225g

The frame for my bar (the 150g is behind it)

The 225 has a "Bean Animal" overflow so you can see the 3 drain lines and one return line that will be split for the tank return.

The 150 on the stand (This tank runs the "Herbie" style overflow)
