    Stand

    Managed to get the stand almost finished this weekend. All I have left is to do the floor, cut the panels, then putty/sand/paint. And since you all whine so much, here are some pics :p ;) :

    Nice progress, and choice of beverage!

    I assume that raised tank is a refugium, and is that only supported by the two boards on the ends? If so, is that risking cracking from stress? I thought a glass tank was designed to be fully supported around all of the bottom trim? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

    I have the pieces cut for it. Ran out of hardware for securing them though.

    Thanks!
