My 40B in the works!

It's been a long time in the making for me and is finally almost done! I'm super stoked to have it running hopefully in the next few weeks. It was originally gonna be a crude sumpless frag tank but with lots of inspiration from you guys it's slowly turned into a refined display tank! Hope you guys like it

Drain pipes. Still need to make the sock holder

Ehiem 1260 and my first skimmer ever! it's a little tunze nano a friend gave me to play with

Over flow and return mocked up

And here's a couple shots of the brackets I made for the adjustable light mount.

Rough ground

Smoother. mounting holes drilled\counter sunk

All done with the brackets

That's all the pics I got for now. More to come soon!

Made some progress on the light bracket

And I got some plywood to skin the stand. Hopefully the molding will come tomorrow.

Really liking the light bracket. Will it be powder coated?

Thanks! No powder coat, its too expensive and not necessary. im gonna spray it with an oil based rusto satin black.

Finally got some time so I skinned and trimmed the stand

Light bracket is also done! I'll get pics of that when I sand and paint it
