Seriously go read the build thread, guys. It's well worth the time. I learned a lot from it and will continue to follow it. Excellent job, Justin!
I was going to say I was excited J, but frankly the 49'ner logo is making me ill ... 
Okay, better now ... I know it will look good once it's .... wait ...
Sorry, the logo, not the tank.

You seahawkers... Congrats on FLynn by the way, great pick up. Glad to see you around Chris!Seeing how I just updated the wrong thread on accident
here is an update for you guys. I have not moved the pair to the new house or the fry. Their tank is the only thing left there. I will be moving LATE tomorrow night or Saturday morning. I sold their current tank and the buyer picks is up Saturday morning at 10am so no matter what they are coming home 
I finished the stand, installed the background, plumbed the sump and have had it running 24 hours.Here is a couple of pics from tonight, I just added the rocks and sand tonight but have not scaped the tank yet FYI, everything is just tossed in. Once the tank clears up from adding the sand and heats up I will be ready to get the pair in their new pen. The delay in shipping me my gate valve put me behind two days.
by this weekend this tank is going to be a show tank. View attachment 763989

gonna leave it dry scaped Justin ?? I know you had mentioned something about having some live plants but didn't know if that is still in the works given the whole waterfall these ?? so close but yet too far
Damn Justin, thats looking awesome. That 3d background makes the tank for sure. Would love to have a setup like that one day.
