I have the 60 Rift tank set up, and am working on the 180 tonight and this weekend. The 60 Cold water will be worked on as well.

Hopefully by the end of the month, I'll have the 180 filled.
Note: the 180 is going to be a dry start tank as will the 38. So it'll be 3-4 weeks before I fill them.

The 120, the cold water macro, and Rift will not.

I'll have to modify the lights to accept the straight pin GE 9235K's for a couple of the tanks.

Corkscrew vals are growing nicely in the rift tank. Wood is still buoyant so I have a small rock holding it, but after another week or so, it'll be water logged.

Checking to make sure all seals are tight and prepping all the plumbing and parts takes time, but I pick at it 2-3x a week.

I got all the stands hand rubbed with Danish oil yesterday. Looks nice now.
Matches the Oak floor
