Here is the tank minuets after siliconing and setting the jigs

Currently I have removed all clamps and the wooden base jig and will be letting the tank sit for about 3 weeks before water testing.. In the mean time I will be cleaning up the sloppy spots of silicone and installing the euro braces.

Also need to start curing my rock
 
This is my holding system for my fish and coral.. It works like this, The 37 gallon (on the stand) drains down into the 55 gallon into the "filter chamber" which houses my G3 skimmer Gfo reactor and lots and lots of plastic pot scrubbies from the dollar store. Im using the pot scrubbies because there is very very little live rock in the holding system because im hitting the reset button with my live rock.. Im running a wp40 in the 55 gallon to keep all the sps happy.. The water is then pumped from the 55 back up to the 37 gallon and so on and on. Hope that made sense.

This is a cool build its going to be be a great reef. I hate the transition time when the tank is sitting on the floor i went through that over the summer. Good luck with the build
 
Looking awesome! YT vids are awesome too! Lemme know if you need help lifting that bad boy... you have to get out of the tank first thou :)
