Finally started my 180 build

I will take a few pics tonight. I am a little embarassed with my temp REDNECK light setup. My canopy and stand skin should be done in the next week or two.
 
looking good so far Jarhead !!!
One heads up though....my 125 has the same "offset" overflows and I found it tricky to get good flow back between the overrflow and the side of the tank..too much flow and sand was everywhere (dont think u were/are going barebottom) just so u are prepared for it.....btw,got some good use out of that flask bike week
 
Roy, I am going BB so I won't have to worry about sand. Here is a pic of the lighted side. Glad the flask was put to good use.

UPDATE! Things finally moving along

Here are some new pics. I got the stand surround mounted and stained. The granite was installed today. We re-aquascaped the rock last Sat before the club meeting. Let me know what you think.
Here is the aquascaping.

Thanks Reefman79
I finished staining the canopy and am working on the light rack right now. Hopefully it will be done by the weekend.
