Im interested in how you plan to filter i seen no holes made for plumbing.

Thanks everyone. I'm working on the stand atm and hoping to finish it this week. I will post more pics soon. Filtration will be overhead trickle system and maybe an FX5 in the future. I bought it from the lfs so its ready to be installed. Other members gave me pretty good advise on a sump but I had to pass because I just don't feel confident enough that I can do it right. Its rocket science to me.

Thanks. Didn't notice any bowing. It could be because the height is only 24".

Stand finished. I used some reclaimed lumber for the legs and bracings. Will paint this week and post more pics once done.

Nice looking tank. Great pictures showing how to use fiberglass resign to bridge the area between the LR and the glass.
