another picture in some different light. Sealant arrives tomorrow so i'll be able to start coating it. Got my bulkhead ordered and found a local reefer with drill bits so drain should be done within the next couple days



So next couple of things on the TO DO LIST is

-start sealing stage of background
-get tank drilled for bulkhead drain (going 1/2" bulkhead on this one, i did 3/4" on my last which seemed more than enough so)
-pieces are already cut for FB, just need to zip tie it and screen it
-buddy of mine in Texas owns a glass company, talking with him to see about sending me glass for my lid

once i can get the FB set and the background temporarely in place i can start on the top. Deciding on how many mist nozzles i'm going to need for this. One in each front corner for sure but i'm thinking maybe a double nozzle in the middle as well. i plan on planting moss on the ledges of the background which is going to need to be kept pretty wet so i'm thinking i'm going to need some good coverage from the misters.

Also i don't plan on having an screen vent on this build so its going to be completely sealed up (i think). I going to use a couple fans on this to keep my glass clear but i haven't decided on how i'm going to do it. i'm either going to use a method i've found over on db for having the fans actually inside the tank where i can position them how i want, or i'm going make the top so that i can have a couple fans that shoot air directly down the front glass.
