I have a 1x2 frame built that its sitting on ! Was just an easier design , rather then trying to cut plywood the same shape as the frame ! Also it will make any water spillage easier to clean up off the Terazzo floor !

Stand is 100% complete , Other than some touch up paint spots ! Going to get the last 2 bulkheads I need tomorrow . So I can filler her up in the garage and let her set for a few days , to see if she leaks! All the seals look good so well see! Hopefully I bring her in on Friday or Saturday! Water Bill is gonna suck this month! LOL

Great job can't wait to see it all set up. Petey is going to love it and you, what a great puffer owner with all the effort you have put into this.

That is awesome.
Is petey going to be by himself in there or are others going to join him?

Do you think petey(slow swimming puffer) is safe with a very aggressive fast damsel?

He should be fine. the Damsel seems to only push around the fish smaller than it ! It doesnt mess with My watchman Goby . Just the other damsels and the clowns ! Looks like the tank is coming inside tommorrow , sweet!
