    Ok, I think I really like this one. Simple, standard, more beach room in the front ...

    Let see how long this one lasts!

    Thank you, much appreciated!

    The stand was built out of pallets I reclaimed from work. I used the 2x4s for the framing and then the slats I planed for the skin which is a frame and raised panel construction.

    Last time I do that though, tearing those pallets down was a major pain. I think some of the assemblers must get paid by the fastner, and the nails were ring-shanks!

    It has been four weeks since I received my live rock...

    Parameters came in today indicating the cycle is complete!

    Ammonia and nitrite both undetectable. Nitrate climbing to 5ppm. Time for a clean-up crew and some macro-algae before things get out of hand...
