Stand is together and stained, I'll shoot some pics when the urethane is dry. It was an ABSOLUTELY beautiful day here, low humidity and 22 degrees, life is good.

Petco is having a $1 per gallon sale until August 8th so I picked up 2 40 breeders and another 29 for a sump tank for the 93 cube. I'm going to pick up 4 more 40 breeders and make 2 quarantine systems, 2 banks of 2 tanks plus the sump for my personal stock, 1 coral and 1 fish. 40 breeder tanks are 900x450x400mm. 1 36w UV on the fish system to keep them separate in the event of something getting through.

A friend of mine who was in the business for years when I was back in the 90s just lost EVERY fish in his 180 reef tank because he didn't quarantine. He had some very rare and expensive specimens even at wholesale prices, $6700 worth of fish gone in 4 days, I don't want that to ever happen again. I want to make a system at home for my personal fish so I don't have to tell customers those animals are sold and my old reefing friends will be able to pick fish from that system.
