DIY Wall Unit Progress

[newsalt]

Have not posted in a while, but I want to show the progress on the wall unit I'm making for my new 120g.

Here's a rendering I did of what it should look like when it's done.

Really nice job so far. I wish I had planned out my 120's stand as well, :scratch: .

Nice job. Can't wait to see the finished product. How are you going to plumb it?

I'm going to use a Life Reef overflow into a 29g sump that will be located in an adjoining room. I'm going to use a Mag 9.5 as the return pump.

Wow. That looks great. I love the idea of a remote sump. What program did you use to do the rendering?

Also, Most of the people around here would agree, Have the tank drilled! Now's the chance. You won't have to worry about your overflow losing syphon, and flooding that nice piece of furniture.

I used AutoCAD do draw the rendering. Here's an updated picture of the progress.

The time is the worst part. I started in April. As far as money, I'm a little over $500 in material.
