Here we go, another build thread. A Keith Grandt 60G 36x19x20 Peninsula. This is going to be a real slow build, and take my time. Still deciding what sump I am going with, 20L, 40b or a custom Advanced Acrylic 30g 30x15x15 Sump.

OMG. Would you please pmed Keith contact info? I would like to order one with difference size. THX.
 
Cool, clear silicone! My next tank will also have clear silicone and will be built by Keith again. How do you like the clear vs. black silicone?
 
Beware the turbo twist. ..I had a 18 watt that inside metal reflectors rusted and corrode on me only after 6 months of use....sps slowly died after two months and I couldn't figure out why. Found out when I took the tank offline and clean the darn thing. PM me if you like pictures...but good start!!!
 
Getting a little bit of work today on the stand. Just cut out the holes for the main and emergency drains and the return line. Also the cut outs for the corners for the bottom panel. Going to sand and paint with rustoleom topside marine paint. Hope to get this done today.
 
Sanding and rounding out the edges.
