Dan,
Your build is awesome! Things really look like they are coming along great. I love what you came up with for the heaters, but it's to bad that you need to use them. That's a lot of heating of water in the dead of winter (Florida - we could get away with it). Good luck with everything - specially your new baby coming .

I think his wife less than a week till the due date. I was over his place a couple days ago and she looked like she was ready to pop. Man I hope she doesn't read that.

I'm sure he'll post additional pics soon. The wood cabinetry is on and everything. Its truly a dream tank and is remarkable looking. I can only hope to have something that nice one day.

Got real busy real fast and pretty much finished the tank, here is the final look and I will go back and take some better pictures of the system components and fill in some detail about how everything operates.

Remodel done, sure is nice for the kids to have their own rooms.

No fishroom yet, I don't do things as fast as you do. I still need to put the clear coat of epoxy on the garage floor.

I was reading your other thread on your 54 gallon, and had some questions about your cardinal fish. I live near you, and am a member of WAMAS too. Which LFS did you get the cardinals from? I was thinking about getting 5 of them for my 65 gallon, but didn't know which local store would carry them. Also, I have heard that they are very delicate--did you notice this? Can you tell me about your experience with them?

By the way--your tanks look amazing!
