    Thanks. If you look close enough (can't see it in the picture), you will see a pretty big failure on my part. I forgot to sand the front with a fine grained sandpaper after I used the course grain. It was noticeable after I stained it.

    I saved a little time by not mitering, but it would have looked nicer had I done so.

    I don't even plan on keeping this tank up and running for but a couple of months longer. It was a fun project though. It really does add to the value.

    Appreciate it. Now if I can only get the inside to look as beautiful.

    Appreciate it!

    Thanks!

    Still trying to decide on how I want to construct the door. Sanding will be a pain in the rear too...as will relocating the tank.
