More !!! this is exciting!! I can not wait to see this tank up and running, I am on the edge of my seat
thank you so much for the updates
I think you're more excited about this than I am!! Okay, lots of pics tonight... I finished a bit early so I went on a photo spree.
The tank, sitting on the flipped over stand, a few coats of epoxy on it, and masking tape over the hardwood so I don't get black goo on it.
The rear corner where the overflow box will be mounted:

My giant 50gal rubbermaid sump, with rubbermaid set of drawers that will house my filer media/bio tower:

Birds eye view looking forward:
The beginnings of the tank top. I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do here... but this is the bare panel, cut to shape, so I could at least do some other fitting...
Experimented with some stain, and what a layer of un-tinted epoxy over the stain. Dunno if I'm happy with this color, but at least it looks like the screw holes won't look too bad once plugged:
And one last shot:
