    Ahhhh you plumbed on the side. Now I see what you were saying. Nice tank :). What's the point of painting the inside of the stand white? I see it a lot.

    I was going to paint it anyway for waterproofing. Calkeld all seems as well. I read on here and seen one guy that did it for light reflection it is so much brighter in there with only one light for when I am working under there it is nice I like it.

    If you are handy enough you can make it so you can remove one whole face of the stand or even two and not need cabinet doors. I am going to try and do it on my next one I think it looks cleaner and it would help the kids not getting in it.

    Signed about 1000 papers yesterday, should have keys soon! Stopped by LFS to request stand pics for this tank, I just don't think I will have time to build a stand. Work has been kicking my butt.

    Any updates on your tank? I saw your post about pellets, so I'm assuming it's wet...would love to see a pic of it!
