The last picture was a dry fit to see if I was okay with the build.

Finished with the skin and put on the some paint not sure if you can tell but I had to add some handles to bring it upstairs the stand was so heavy (an over kill)you can park your truck on this thing.

Looks great! How well did your 2x4's fit together? I had a really hard time finding straight looking pieces and even then when I put my stand together it was painfully obvious they were all slightly warped in one way or another.
 
Thank you guys for the kind words. It was a PITA looking for the straightest 2x4's, but that's what I did, pick and choose the best ones. But even then your not going to get the straightest 2x4's so the ones with the bends get cut off and you do your best with what you have left I was very lucky with my build. I took my time with the build it took me about 2 weeks, I wish I didn't overkill the stand my son had to help my bring it upstairs when I thought that i could bring it up myself we both struggled with it.

This the home made protein skimmer that I threw together it's no big deal but it work for me it actually works really well.

My 25 lbs of BRS Reef Saver Dry rock came it's a little heavier than I thought I just put it in the tank for now and I'll aqua scale it at a later time. I do like the shape of the rocks but they are all the same size it would have been nice to see some larger pieces with this.

My Kessil controller also came in I haven't set it up yet but I did play with it for a few minutes and it is easy to navigate through. I'll see it is the same when I try to set up the timer for the lights
