Its been a while i havent give any update on my tank, and i am really sorry for that, cant keep you guys entertain.

I have been working for months on the stand look with the help of a few person, getting my idea after seeing RalfP beautiful reef tank. Since my tank is taking about 4/5 of the hole wall, i decided that closing it would be a nice. Also the sound reduction is considerable. The color on the picture seem to be black but in reality, its a dark brown. Everything is removable, the bottom of the stand have magnet like my old tank, and its been working great for me.

Next step now: making the QT tank and frag tank
Not much corals in yet, same for fishes, looking for the right ones.

Thank you guys!

Ed: it does look better with a clean glass I was too lazy cleaning it until you tell me to get one shot with a clean glass :P. Your tank is looking good!

Hawaiianwargod: took a lot of time to finally have the stand. In the end, i am very happy of the result!

Temperature is raising up from 78-79 to 80-81 today. I will put some more fans to cool up the heat in the back of the "wall"
I will be playing around with all the electric cords laying behind the tank and bring the Ro/Di unit behind the tank.

Also looking for a burgee's butterfly to come around! Can't wait to get it!
