Just seems like so much light. But Dave's does look good. Here is the pic of the almost done base. Still have a long way to go on the stand but at least I can get the tank on after I drill a couple of holes in the top piece. And Dave gave a great idea for me. Have a board on bottom, then grout, then board, then tank. I am going to put the grout on when I have some help to lift the tank. Pregnant wife has told he He!! no, she is not lifting that thing. So may have to wait for a couple days. Not that I dont have so much to anyway. Here are a couple pics. I feel like I take more pictures than work.....
