Just praying that the finished tank is not gonna sit in front of that window. Please tell me those back legs will have a second 2x4 or 2x6 that will sit between the top frame and bottom frame like the front side does!

I'll try and sit back and observe and not panic! lol

That looks great. Coming along nicely. I have found it useful to put pond liner on the bottom and up the sides a few inches to contain any leaks. My wife doesn't mind the extra expense to save her floor. Wink
