Next up.....Leveling the beast and adding substrate.

Very Nice. My ultimate goal is to build my own as well. All I need is the supplies. and space. and tools. and money.and time. It might be awhile. :/

very nice!! my boyfriend and i are going to attempt building our own some time this summer...probably will start small. as it is we dont have room in our house for anymore big tanks...

Nice work. That's a beast. I bet it turns out great.

P.S. I believe I have the exact same thermostat as you. lol

you must mean the white rodgers. i have 2 of them, they are ssssoooo cool.

That's so disgustingly nice....where do you live again? doesn't really matter but you're hired man lol that is some NICE work; plant that neat & some great fish in there - Ugly how pretty that will turn out....*me dreaming here now*

thanks angel....it consumed alot of weekends and late nights. I am just happy to get the whole thing out of my garage.

I was going to move my plants from my 55G into the 180G, but I have decided to order all new plants. Going to have quite a few different varieties in there.

I can only image...and here I was last year proud like heck building my first own 55g stand (w/out doors lol) that's real nice...but wayyy past my DIY league lol

Oh you have to update pic's when you get that planted I can only imagine how beautiful that'll be *drool*

And you glued & cut all that glass to didn't you?

i didnt make the tank.....but it was custom made for someone else. i got it off craigs, the glass is 1/2" thick and nice and clear. if i told you what i paid for it you wouldnt believe me.;-)

i may place my plant order this weekend, i will have to see how i feel.
stay tuned for more pics.:-D

well i have not added to this one but i have followed it for some time and i must say you did an amazing job!! well done :)
