Well, it's up! 
Still a ton to do, but my body is telling me to sit down for a breather...
And the gratuitous mermaid shot:

Oh, but there is...and has been since 5pm. Even has sand now, but it's too cloudy to see. Well, half a tank anyhow. Making more water and will be moving livestock over tomorrow with the remaining water.
Thanks John
That my friend is a 9 year old Jaidenfish. Very rare and valuable!!!! I know, you're all jealous

Got a couple of cans of Spray Seal and applied a nice rubber spray coating around the bottom of the stand:
Then added a couple of plywood panels to add a little extra support to the tank, especially without the skinning on it yet. The end panel will eventually have shelves and a door on it
Another shot with the fuge in place. Now I just need to add a sump that is less than 38" long.
Working on the canopy and plumbing today....

Got my multi-GFCI outlet box installed under the tank, then moved that panel up a bit higher to clear the new 40 breeder sump.
And the canopy frame is up, and got the the 3 Lumenarc Mini's and 2 5' VHO Super Actinic's wired up and installed as well:
The sump is in, but barely got started on the plumbing, and the fuge needs to be elevated 2" to clear the rim of the sump. Hopefully I'll get a chance to get that finished up tomorrow...And I want to get the rest of the live rock out of the brute in the garage and into the tank

You can edit this?
Do you think you'd get better VHO coverage if they were about 6" lower?

Yep, was in the middle of getting everything wired up when you came by, and I needed to get some light on those corals.
Quite possibly, and I've got the parts handy to drop them down. Just playing with the VHO level to see about keeping room to get in and out of the tank as easily as possible, especially knowing that I still have rock to put into the tank. The coverage actually seems better than I anticipated though...
Thanks.

I know. Wasn't sure I wanted a peninsula at first either, but it works out nicely to separate my office from the rest of the house. I'm glad it didn't work out with your feng shui
Very nice my friend! Great start
Thanks Mark:beer:
