I built the top part and bottom part of my stand. I need to do the legs and support.
[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] I overbuilt and ran sorta out of wood. Then I'll have to move it to the house and finish the build there. |

I have the holes drilled in the top for the closed loop. They are not pretty but done.

The store owner politely informed me that I had to drain the tank and clean it before moving it. After it was all said and done, and by the visual scratches that are visible, I have a lot of work ahead of me but I am ready for the challenge.

Setback
Short and to the point, I screwed my stand up. I have to re cut boards and lower it a whole 7 inches. New pics to come later when I calm down. Sorry for the delay.

After filling it and having live stocking it, I'd follow the instruction I gave on another site earlier. Your are cooing to see scratches you missed when you fill it and probably make a few new ones. I've been able to keep my acrylic tank looking like new using the following steps. It had some pretty bad scratches that slowly came out. Good luck...looks like it will be a nice reef tank set up.
