    Well got home from work and decided to work on the stand, gave it a good 5.5hrs. Now just to sand, trim, and paint. Sorry for the dark picture, its midnight and I don't have very good lighting.

    Well after the second coat dried I added all the knobs and set the tank on it. A lot more sturdy and better looking.
