Josh's 150 Build

Well I have been waiting for quite awhile to write a build thread and the time has finally come. Many would call us reefkeepers crazy for all the time and money we have spent, and for all of the times we talked to people about our crabs and they had no clue what we were talking about. But all of us here have formed an online friendship, where our beautiful works of art (Our reeftanks) are the cement that holds our relationships together. I cannot thank enough people for all of the answers I have recieved on this forum, and I am sure I will be asking many more in the future, but for what it is worth, thank you everyone for all your time in helping me with putting this beautiful tank together. I hope everyone enjoys this build because I have had a most amazing time putting it together. Enjoy the pics and if you have any questions, please ask because after all that is what we are here for.

Thanks Everyone for Your Support,
Josh

This stand came out better than I hoped for.
