First 2 pages are pretty much just the stand. It certainly wasnt pretty but it was very solid and I was proud of my work since I had no experience working with wood before. And getting under 2 tons of weight, I made sure it was solid.

Btw your stand looks good. Will look real nice once finished

Residents will b my 2 turtles and idk what else. Would like to get native though. Might b able to get pumpkinseed or bluegill. Not sure yet. Wasn't planning on a small tank, but I'm sure i can find something.

Amazing!!!!!! I want ur tank!! I can't set up my new tank yet... People keep telling me it needs more support or seams will crack and acrylic will bend. SOOO going to postpone the setup... I thought adding a center board would b ok, but. Apparently not. Now i have to go buy more plywood...
