So they finish the granite floor last night. It looks very good.

More unexpected expense, we are going to change the carpet in the waiting area and hallway to granite.

How do add those extra suport to your stand? Is it a wood stand? I am think of adding 1 extra 2x4 on each of the shorter side. My tank should weight 3000lbs( estimate). If my stand have 8 points, each with have a downward force of 375 lbs. A concrete block or slab shoud be able to hold that much.

I should order the tank with 36'' tall instead of 27'', rush decision again. In order to compensate the missing height, i need to raise the tank 6 to 8 inch'' tall. Only if I can do it safely.

The new tank arrived this morning. Looks very impressive, although I shoud order it with 36'' tall.

New skimmer

Now, I need to order live rocks and light fixture.

I hope this unplanned project will so smoothly from now on.

Very nice tank! Could you post some top down pictures of your new glass aquarium to show how your tank was constructed by Miracle? I am curious if the builder used one piece of glass for the entire top and corner support or used multiple sheets of glass for support around the top corners and edges. Thanks, and good luck with the rest of your build. Looks very nice so far!
