Ok, got all the bits I needed to build the frame of the cabinet last night and got to work. Amazing how much time there is in planning, measuring, cutting, filing and assembling something so small....
"Cladding" and the start of the hood will be tonight.

All pieces cut ready for assembly:

Assembled at home:

Trial fitout at work where the tank will be located (The Reefuge open on second monitor :P )

This is going to be so friggin cool!!!! :rofl
I can't believe how awesome a length you're going for the one :D All that's left is to find miniature inhabitants to match the big tank :p

 

[Sam Parker]

yeah unfortunately genetic manipulation isn't in my skill set just yet!!! Will do my best to replicate the aquascape and maybe even some coral placement. Should be pretty neat :)

 

[Wrangy]

Damn! :p Seriously such an awesome idea that you're going all out on!

 

[Agent M]

Lol, that is so frickin cute (in a manly way...)

 

[Sam Parker]

Got a bit more done (actually got more than this done, but didn't take any pics). on the cabinet on the weekend. Also found a perfect fit sump :)

 

[Sam Parker]

P.S. Ignore the PVC, that is just to give you an idea of where the hood will sit!

 

[Wrangy]

That's seriously so friggin awesome!!! :rofl

 

[Sam Parker]

Cheers mate. Tank will be ready tomorrow hopefully, so will sit her all together and finish off the plumbing and sump :)

 

[Agent M]

Woo! Coming together fast!

This time I'm serious, do you actually work at work?! :P

heheh, mad skills.

Well, I was offline for about 4 hours today whilst I was being wined and dined on the balcony overlooking the Geelong waterfront. Tough gig, but someone has to do it!

The last time I asked you this question, I remember you replying after coming back from lunch at the pub....
You must moon light as a food critic!

 

[Sam Parker]

Man's gotta eat!

 

[Agent M]

Do you need a PA? Sounds like a doddle :p

 

[Sam Parker]

Oh Agent M, I would LOVE a personal assistant.... But it's not as glamorous as it sounds, my staff now already get all the jobs I don't want to do!!!

 

[Agent M]

Yes but I'm thinking that as your wingman, your PA would need to be ON-SITE with you at all times - like for eg, on the Geelong waterfront luncheoning, haha :p

 

[Sam Parker]

Sounds only fair... Plus, if I'm important enough for a PA - I must deserve a pay raise? :P

 

[hoangii]

coming along nicely bro

Hoping the good men at Reef n River (LFS in Geelong) have my tank ready today, then I will be able to post a pic of it mocked up!
