The addiction begins again

[ciera2655]

well after being away for 6 yrs i got the itch again. had a 125 before and decided to go bigger this time. was planning on a 300dd but that didnt pan out so i came across a great deal on a 210aga, custom stand that i just got done staining, and a 50 sump. hopefully it will be up and running withing a week or two, still have to order some things to get me started. will post more pics a the progress begins...

planned on starting canopy, but under weather with stomach bug... grrr... when i start it im going to attach it to both post so weight is off tank. also going to make it two parts, lower half for lighting and upper half to store supplies and such... post more when progress resumes

[MizTanks]

[MizTanks]

Mirrored backing just to cover the overflows :)
