    Looks awesome. Nice stand and soon to be matching hood as well. Keep up the good work.

    Looks good, but there looks to be one problem with the canopy. It doesn't seem to have a way to "grip" the tank. You wouldn't want it to get bumped off and have your lights go BOOM or the tank go CA-RACK.

    lol, I haven't put the paneling on it yet. It will cover the frame, and also overlap the black trim on the top of the tank. So that will hold the canopy onto the tank...if that makes sense

    Makes sense. I figured I would say something just in case you overlooked it.

    Lol no problem. I wouldn't be surprised if I did overlook something like that

    Wow, haven't had any update or progress for a while. I installed new laminate flooring in the living room, which has put the tank on hold. I might start working on finishing the stand this weekend...hopefully.

    Hey, it's nice to see you on here again. Any progress since your last update on thee tank?

    Guess what? I never finished my 29g, but I starting up the 75g I was telling you I wanted originally. :) We should be getting wood to build the stand this weekend.

    Thanks :D. No progress for a while. I finished installing the hardwood in my house, and it got to cold to paint baseboard and install them. So I have to wait until it gets warmer to setup the tank. I am going to try and finish all the trim on the stand, and order the doors for the stand this weekend. Hopefully I can get something done.

    Lol, I hope you get that 75g tank up soon :D. Can't wait to see it.
