Dansreeftank do over..

So my wife told me I need to wait till we get back from vacation till I can fill it up so decided to do other things to keep me busy and not think of the tank to much so I decided to use some of my left over rocks from before and put it in my little landscape that we have in the front that will be my reef for now..lol




....let me also introduce a little bit of myself I am a BMW tech and real estate agent I love to work on cars but after my accident 2010 from a drunk driver its been really difficult to do what I love so I found something I also love doing finding families homes that they can call their own..after my accident I realized life is so short and that families matters most and make the best of what you have and enjoy life..every year we plan a family vacation to spend some quality time and just enjoy each others company. .I don't take things for granted specially my wife..that is why she lets me do what I want with my reef because we both know that what makes each other happy makes us happy as well..and she started to enjoy the reef as well that's why she is involved in building this new reef tank and plus it needs to look good in her house lol..enough of the mushy stuff here's an eye candy for car fanatics alike..my new toy that I am thinking of taking to the tracks..

my 4 series M sport
Thanks for letting me share
 
The front end on that M looks mean =).. Nice progress the former tank was definitely a looker..
Thank you out all the bmw I had this is for sure one my favorite
best handling and gas mileage and performance..I call it a small 6 series..I like the ride of my 7 but the 4 is fun to drive and hugs the road well. .:wildone:
 
I am looking forward to seeing this progress upon your return - have lots of fun and enjoyment on your vacation.

thank you its just a short vacation its in July so I am just working on some other things to finish the stand and sump the doors is gonna take me atleast a few weeks to custom build I am having my wife do the artwork for the doors I am not sure yet of the designs just trying to brainstorm something with my wife..and then I would have to transfer the artwork on the door all freehand and that's what is gonna take time if I decide to go that route I just finished installing the hardware on the doori just need to paint the frame for the hardware I am trying to figure out also if I have enough space for a belt driven track to make the doors automatic will see.
 
The tank looks great so far!

I admire your ability to keep things in perspective - unfortunately, usually the most pertinent reminders of how quickly things can change come at times of loss - during the good times it is important to take a step back and truly enjoy it for what its worth. :thumbsup:

Very nice!

The stand is coming along superb and that sump is a beautiful piece of work.

+1
Stand looks great!:)

what's next on your plans?
thanks guys ...I got plenty of plans not sure if I can get it done or which one I will be able to do..I am just making things or doing things as I go..I am planning on building an acrylic stand to house the computer or tablet and the apex controller and also need to build an enclosure for the outlets and eb8..

Love that stand cugly! Will look very smexy with that sweet sump sitting inside of it!! The cars not bad either buddy ;)
thank you sir....that was suppose to be my car but it ended up being my wife's car lol its ok it gave me a hall pass to do as I please with the tank without questions. ..and I still get to track the car once my neck feels better..



Here's a bad arse pic of a black one..
 
That stand is looking seriously professional.. Nice touch with the sliding doors.. It's a rare event when someone showcases the equipment side of things other than at shows.. A little jealous over here lol j/k.. Great work
 
New car or hall pass with the tank...hmmm... Hall pass sounds pretty good to me :D the new car novelty wears off after a while mate ;) but don't get me wrong I'm a rev head myself I sold my pride and joy to fund my tank! Something I regret everyday coz I miss it like crazy but I love my Reefing more :lol:
