    Just for a reference what size tank is that? And did you check to see if it was level?

    Very nice dude. Very nice. K+ bigtime. But now here is the question. That Guiness. When you drank it. What temperature was it?

    BTW, I had the same concern that ST had with your 20g. I am happy you ran short. That is one nice stand. How are you going to face it? Or are you leaving it open?

    I am going to skin it with some sort of thin, almost vernier type boarding. There are a few choices at HD/Lowes, haven't really decided which type exactly yet (they are almost similar to pegboard, but without the holes if that makes sense). The front will be in 3 panels (following the vertical supports), and be fastened with the Tot Loks. Sides will also be fastened with the same locks. Will make it so I can completely get it down to the framework for really good access in about 30 seconds ;)

    Either can I!
    Just got a few more items rolling in, then I will be able to do it. Gotta re-arrange the room, and move the 40 beforehand too.
    Lifting this thing on to the stand is not going to be fun.

    Yeah I have been getting a little more motivated as of late ;) I am just wrapping up tonight actually. Got the overflows painted as well. Looks really nice. The blue/blue hides just as well as black/black. I think I may do the power heads here as well.
