That was a heavy bitch to get down to the basement. It will make an amazing tank. Planned build is for a FOWLR.

Once you do the modifications to the stand for the plumbing, you could technically start substrate and rock work and water, so long as the water does not go through the overflow

Going to try and swing it to get the plumbing up and running this weekend for you.

You are going to want to seal that drywall at the top. Moisture and splashes will rot it very quickly.

See you this afternoon to get the plumbing finished up

+1 Using cement board would be my suggestion https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.12-durock-next-gen-cement-board-panel-4-x-8.1000431094.html

[prism127]

the wife said I could do the trim around the tank any way I wanted so I did lol Need 3 more plates

 

[heath]

looking good, are you going to add trim or just the plates... you need another Michigan...

 

[prism127]
