We're also working with someone to customize some acrylic pieces for our 40 breeder sump design idea.

Everything is coming together piece by piece :)

The top of the stand cabinet is starting to turn out better than before. I sanded down the gel stain to show more of the natural wood and I like how it's turning out so far.

Also got a 5.5 gallon tank for the new ATO reservoir plus I got a coat Kliz primer on the small cabinet for the stand. Yesterday, I had to sand down the inside of the big cabinet because I didn't do a good job of sanding the interior the first time and start the process over. That sucked but better now than later.

We also made the final plans for the sump and the guy building the acrylic pieces is going to start working on it this week and send us pictures before shipping to make sure we're happy. We're having it made in red acrylic to match the plumbing pieces. Still alot to do but small steps of progress this weekend.

Ok latest progress is the sump acrylic designs should be delivered today. Any help with silicone/glue recommends are welcome for attaching the acrylic to glass.

Also got the final coat of gloss white enamel paint on the inside of stand cabinets. Looks pretty good.

Now to attach the leveler feet to the cabinets and bring them inside to connect them and start the level process. We also have to move my existing tank to another area of the room and reinforce the floor.
