    Hello,

    I've had FW tanks for a while, although none for the last several years. Now I'm moving on the SW. I have a 40 breeder ready to setup, but couldn't find a stand I liked. I have a 20L sump/fuge and wanted to be able to slide it in and out, so doors on the sides were a must and I wanted it higher than the 30" height on all the stands I found. So DIY it is, and I'm about half done with the stand.

    I know, I know... this thread is useless without pics! I'll get some up, but I'm definitely the tortoise in this race.

    Anyway, I wanted to say "Hi" and thanks for all the info I have already learned here and am sure to continue to learn.

    Scott

    Thanks for the Welcome.

    HeiHei29er, it looks like we have more than one common interest. I too have a 29er, but not quite as nice as that Kona! I ride a hardtail (Breezer Jetstream 29) but have been eyeing the Santa Cruz Heckler, but that upgrade is taking the backseat to this SW project.
