Thanks guys, i am using the Filtration off of my 220. and adding to that
i have a
MARINELAND ACRYLIC SUMP - MODEL 4 with duel mag 1800 and will be adding a FX5 to the closed loop at the one end of the tank. i also have some other things i will be adding , once i get to that phase i will share pics of that as well
Amazing stand so far man. Ive been taking woods in my high school. Our high school is ranked 1st in Illinois for woodworking. I dont know if anyone knows this but every year theirs a nationals for woods for the whole country and someone from our class always represents Illinois.
As for the doors, I dont know how much you paid for those but if you want to save some money on them and you have a router all you need is a stile and rail kit. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=2145. I dont know if you could find some cheaper but i just pulled those up. They look amazing. if you have any questions on them you could PM me. and for the panel to put inside it looks like they just took a piece of plywood and cut it to size to fit in there. Not a bad idea. There are some sets out there that offer another bit to use on solid stock to make the panel for the inside (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=24514) The only thing you wont get with the stile and rails are the miter look.
Just something for the future depending on how much it cost for those doors to be made.

You may also need a router table too. Sorry

Thanks man. the doors i get for super cheap from a friend who owns a millwork shop in TX , so its not even worth my time to do them myself. i have the tools to do it. but for what i pay for them i would rather be playing bags in the yard waiting for them to be made lol
Haha nice. I dont blame you. Some things are just better when other people do them. Like drawers for a dresser. damn I hate those things.Joefish;4219175; said:

i have not forgot about my Fish friends. some set backs. the stand is done i just have to get it in my house. last week i had truck repairs to do. so no time to get it in. and yesterday was the day but then had Tornado's rip through here. and i lost power for 9 hours. thank god for battery back up pumps so i hope to have the stand inside and the tank on it with in the next few days. unfortunately its gonna take some extra hands to get it in the house.
pics to come as soon as i can get it in
