Very nice Kelli, don't let that 95 slow you down too much!

nope plenty of time for this. Taking it real slow with the 95! It would be really hard to take it slow on the new tank if I didn't have this project though!

Still waiting for lights we are going to build a base from 2 x 4's to raise the tank up 3 1/2"
and use 4" oak baseboard stained to match the desk attached to the 2 x 4 for decoration
the canopy design will be similar using crown molding.
I am ordering the HOB Filter today

progress
I rec'd the HOB filter today. The box is 2x's the size of the tank lol
I also emailed the company the lights are coming from regarding the delay (not sure if the delay is from the store or my Brother in Law who I had order the lights since I don't have a paypal account)

The lights will be here on Tuesday!! The trim for the base and canopy is stained but still needs varnish. I am having my Dad do the staining and varnishing since he has a vented/heated garage so it doesn't stink up the house to bad. We should be able to get water in it by next weekend I'm hoping.

Looks Good, now we need to figure out how to piggyback a Remora skimmer on the power filter, with a timer to shut it down during feeding cycles.
Its gonna be nice I can't wait to see all the heliocorals at home in it
