Correct. I drove by it yesterday and noticed I got the name wrong.

The stand is looking great.

Here are some pictures of the stand after it was coated with LINE-X Bedliner.

Progress is gooooood!

Love the line x idea!

 

[Padrino]

Line x cost me double the material for the stand. I decided last night I want more flow capability in my Closed Loop setup. Therefore I ordered another Abyzz pump but forgot that I only have one intake hole. Bottom pane and back pane are tempered so I'm gonna get creative with a custom bulkhead. I will be going to Paul at OM to machine it and feed both pumps from the one outlet!

I pick up the tank TOMORROW!

Getting ready for the tank move

Great work so far. I love these large tank builds because they involve so much more work to the homes and filtration. Tagging along for this one.

Tanks going on the stand tomorrow? Awesome! Make sure someone takes pictures.

!!! This is one of those threads where you start reading and think "dang it is TOO NEW" because you know you won't see the final build at the end

Looks great so far! Good luck on the tank install!

 

[Padrino]

Well tank is in and looks good. It is bolted into a central support beam and shimmed level. I have company over for the next few days so I will need to wait to continue the progress.... just when we started to pick up some momentum. Here are two pics: (they are not the best as they were taken for reference for another purpose, I will wake more tomorrow)

Cheers

Thanks gentlemen!
Unfortunately I couldn't take photos and lift the tank at the same time, But I will get some more photos over the next couple days.

You can't be serious! You're actually going to let company get in the way of a good build? :facepalm:

Thanks guys,
I found some small issues I need to take up with the manufacturer so I will have to wait till Tuesday before touching the actual tank.
