Very nice! and nice work on that stand!

05grandprix I would really think about that rock wall idea. Usually people regret it after and if you foam it right to the back of the tank it makes one heck of a mess if you should change your mind later down the road or sell it. I had one about 7 or 8 years ago in a jbj nano.
Everyone I know of locally that has done it has not kept it going for more than a year or two. At least 4 people that I know of.

Agreed love the stand..

Sump was built by Rod and his partner can do it to fit your specs and to accommodate skimmers along with anything. He is also getting the color acrylics and soon neons.

Ok so finished with the rock walls with epoxy and sand/crushed coral. Letting it dry then I notice I forgot to allow for korallia and jabeo pumps so after it sits I suppose I will go and trim out holes for the pumps to sit. Then epoxy the place trimmed and do the same again. Will post picture later next will be to silicone the walls to the aquarium.

It's coming but is a slow process. Only thing left is to add water and few other minor things
