One step closer!
Well ,the 125's sitting on its stand, all empty. I have to frame up the other stands, get an overflow for this 125 built, and start plumbing. Oh, and finish trim the display side wall.
You can also see the way I sealed the lower 4 inches of the fish room, even across the door, to contain accidental spills. I had to rent a jackhammer to blow a hole into the floor for that sump!

I would suggest cabinet doors to acces the front of your tank. I wish I would have on mine.

That's what the extra high opening above the tank is for.

They were in backwards. I just put them in temporarily to keep anyone who helped me set it in place from cutting themselves on the holes, and put them in backwards to discourage their use as handles as we moved it.

I put all mine in that way... I knew it was backwards... but I am always afraid of puting the gaskets in the SWater...Am I just being parinoid?

Depending on where Loralie decides to go with her meeting, your place would be great for a second meeting in November or December... perhaps some free frags would be in order..

Hey Ron, it looks like things are coming together quite nicely!
One of these days we'll have to get together.

I think its better for the gaskets to stay wet so they don't dry out and crack.
