    Thanks Bruh. I appreciate it. I cant wait till the stand and canopy are done.
    So I can work getting the tank all setup. I am currently saving for a Rapidled light kit. I am getting closer to being able to buy it.

    Got some more work done on the stand today. Doors are finished. Here is some pictures of what it looks like. The doors are just sitting on the trim for now to see what everything looks like. I will center the doors when I install the hinges. I also painted the inside of the stand and canopy white.

    I thinking about using glass instead of wood for the doors. A frosted glass. I think it will look a lot nicer that way.

    I have finally got the stand and canopy finished. With the help from CJ with the stain and poly and Matt with hanging the doors. It turned out great. Here is some pics with it sitting in place. Unfortunately I wont be able to start filling it up until the beginning of the year.

    Here is the pump I will be using. It is a Blow Hole 2700 with a 3 speed switch. I Will be using the lowest speed on this pump due to the amount of flow it will be put out. Here is the spec sheet and a picture of the pump. It does not use 2" fittings though. That spec is wrong. It actually uses 1 1/4" fittings.

    Very nice looking build and nice job with the stand/canopy.

    I would verify that your pump is for marine applications and not fresh water only. High chloride waters can do a number on low grade "stainless steel". It should be at least 316 stainless.

    Looking forward to seeing this tank filled after the first of the year!
