Got the doors finished so now it is just some fine work to get done.
Here it is prepped and ready for the paint.
In the process of painting so I thought I would give you a halfway teaser of what the finish is going to look like.
Well, I have had a lot going on this week but managed to get the final touches done on the stand and 2 of the doors. 2 doors to go but I can still start getting this thing plumbed and ready to get cycled, here is the end result of the stand.

So a pretty busy evening, got the 90 moved off the wall the 180 is going and got the 180 on the stand.
Where the 90 was and the 180 is going
Where the 90 is now, across the room
And the 180 finally on its stand
Got it plumbed and fw running in it right now. Hopefully I will be able to get it in the house tomorrow and get the sand, water, and some lr in it. I am having an issue with the drain bubbling so I think I am going to have to go with a different standpipe for the drain, right now its a durso on a 1" drain.
Here is the tank and stand with doors sitting inside, still not mounted
DIY Sump out of a 60g with OR6500 and ASM G-4 skimmer
DIY filter sock holder
Tank is in the house and in the process of filling it with water. I can't believe I am mixing this much water but couldn't bring myself to fill it with the scripps. Not that there is anything wrong with scripps its just not my thing. Here is some pics and the halfway point. That is 100g of water and currently mixing up another 80 to get in it tonight.

And done
And the wide open stand, makes access to everything very easy.
Soooo, finally got the doors done and mounted so this is what it looks like and how it was done.
Magnets on the inside frame that I installed to have the doors flush with the stand
Plates mounted to the back of the door for the magnets
Doors installed with the handles to be able to remove the doors
Been awhile since I have been able to do anything with this beast. Added some of the stuff from both the 29g and the 90 and will hopefully have everything from the 29 transferred over this weekend so I can take that tank down. Here is where it is now, a little detritus and I got a clean up crew for it today.

Just move my Surf and Turf over to the 180 tonight, didn't realize how big it actually was until right now. Here are some pics.
Well, pretty much have everything transferred over. Still have a few wrasses I need to dig out of the sand in the 90 tomorrow.
Couple of things I picked up at the aquasd sale

Got a new camera and took some shots. Its a very nicy bridge camera, Fujifilm Finepix S8400W. Here are some pics from the other day, still working with it but all in all I am very happy with it. I do definitely need to get a tripod for it though because a lot of the pics come out kinda blurry.
