Big day today, water test!!!
So far, so good. No leaks for the first few hours. I plan to keep water in for about a week, tomorrow I will put a set of powerheads to create wave in the tank. This will be the ultimate test with water movement. If all goes as planed, by next weekend I will have tank in my room ready to be set up.

Glass is fine, toys were in there for about a minute. Plus its a glass not acrylic, it does not scratch with plastic

Yeah, kids grow up so fast, he'll be 3 this coming November. He is excited about our new tank too, always trying to help me with something. :smile (2):

I did some work yesterday on my stand, originally I was going to build a metal stand, but decided to go with wood, since I had most of needed materials from my old stand that I took apart. Frame is ready to paint and skin. Will be finishing it later this weekend.
This is the look I am going for:

Getting closer to reality, I was able to do some work today and almost finish the stand. Also my good buddy Eddie ( DJE ) did fantastic job putting background on my tank and sump. ( thanks Eddie ). Of course thread without pictures is worthless so here they are:
Eddie hard at work
Three coats of Kilz white latex paint
