Here is the newest addition to our house. Stained the stand this past weekend, electrician coming today, refuge will be completed tomorrow and set to install on Friday morning. This is a lot of work.

Will keep you posted.

The footprint is pretty darn big and does not fit into any area perfectly. It's tucked into a corner of the family room. About 50% was dead space and it now takes up some of our family room. Ohh well a small price to pay for enjoyment. I stained the stand red oak to match the DT. Wife is still on board.

Cant wait to see this full of frags.
How many gallons is it? Did you have it custom made? Do you have a plan for how the tank will be layed out? (How many shelves etc.)

Wife is a little not happy/unsettled with the set up since it is in the family room/way it looks in the family. Guys you know what I am talking about....that....well I thought it was going to look like this.....To late to change but have to spruce it up and make it look like a piece of art work.

Going to build a canopy and vent. Wanted 3 400 hqi pendants but will be getting a 48" t5/hqi unit.
