Here's the 135 new (used really) after drilling the overflows

After the closed loop holes were drilled:
The tub loaded up with the previous tenants:
The old fish room with the empty 100g. This had been up in this spot for 20 years and a reef tank for 10.
Here's the old view from the front. 12" going to be 21".
Here I am with the new bench:
This is how we moved it and you can see the larger hole in the wall:
Trimmed out and ready for plumbing:
Pic of the new fishroom with tank on the stand:
Some of the plumbing with the sump in and wet!:
Water testing and good pic of the closed loop nozzles:
Water movement with Dart on and Mag 18 on:
And this is what it cost me for help:
Next up: Starboard cutting for the bottom, Skimmer installation (plumbing done, just have to hook it up), Hook up and hang lights, fill with r/o and fill with salt 'til 1026, buy LR and cycle. Updates soon.
