Hehehehe
Exactly it's lebanese timing. The wall unit should have installed a month ago and its still getting delayed. Should be installed coming monday when I fly back and hopefully will start te build directly after.
Looking forward to when we can show you some of the lebanese tanks:smile:

Time for some upgrades.
After weeks of stretching the WAF to the limit with the the tank and afterwards with the sump in the middle of the way:

Inside space and ease of access was better than I expected.

At this stage I had to leave to the airport for a 3 days flight.
came back to the following completed. they had to stop at this stage as the side colsets and stand covers would interfere with the tank move.

At this stage one would think the worst is over, still as if I didn't have enough trouble with this build so far. While tunning the cabinets to have a perfect fit on the tank, the opening cover on the tank got tropped and hit on the tank to my bad luck.
Not sure if I should say tragedy happened or tragedy was just avoided:

Luckily it was only the top brace that was damaged and the front pannel was intact.
contacted teh builder and he should be in tomorrow to take it off and replace it.
The worst is that the plan to fill the tank on thursday will have to be postponed till end of next week to allow the silicon on the brace to cure. The Stand covers had to be redone as well so I'm left with this for a week or so.

This thing looks beautiful and it's empty, lol. I can't wait to see it full of life. It sucks that it was damaged but at least it's repairable so yougot lucky there at least.

That cabinet is so nice. Tank looks great. Will look great once all together and filled up. I like seeing the differences in our countries to acheive the same result. Russian plywood. Something I'll never see unless I come to your house. I would love to see pics of your local fish store some time. Maybe on another thread. Following and thanks for sharing.
