And TaDa! Basically finished product. I need to stain and seal the end doors. I also plan to build a canopy for the top and to hide the sides.
I am also setting up an RKL controller to help with maintenance and chores. I have just started playing with it but it looks to be amazing for the money. Does basic functions like timers but also has wavemaker controls, heater and ph control functions and back ups that shut off lights, pumps, etc if something occurs like an overheat.

Looks nice, great job, I must say though, looks like you could fit a 300g along that wall.

Yes, very inefficient use of space.

That looks like a Snapping Turtle. The tank is looking great. What kind of a controller are you using?

Ha, no the turtle resides on my desk. I snapped some pictures while I was uploading the others.
The controller is a Reef Keeper Lite.
