Waiting for the LED strip (purchased a IceCap 21" Blue LED strip to test out) to show up Friday for the final install on the canopy. Than it's down to the final wiring in the base with the ballasts and other stuff. Should be done real soon. Keep the faith, I'm going to get it done.

Awesome looking tank.

Ok, officially finished the lighting. Got the new IceCap LED bar in and it's so sweet. It's really well built and fit perfectly in my configuration. Also, built some custom standoffs for it that worked out great:

I'm at a complete stall now. I think I will need to reinforce the floor now. I talked to a ton of people and they all felt the floor would hold it, but not after seeing the huge (who knows why they are so big) return HVAC tubes get crushed against the floor. I don't trust it and so now I need your peeps help with finding a good foundation company that I can work with.

Water going in tonight.
