GOTCHA:naughty:


Due to bad weather conditions my 450g was suppose to be delivered yesterday but it was prosponed for today. Sorry for the teasing but it'll be here by 4:00pm. I did pick up the stand yesterday and all I can say is the stand alone was a heavy beast. Even for 2 ppl to lift it was quite heavy. Anyhow here's what the monster stand looks like before the actual tank arrives. It'll be on the stand within 2 hours:D Will update pics of it shortly.


The stand is practically the same size as my large couch:eek:

Gad Zooks Batman! That stand looks sexy just by itself.

Who made that stand for u? and what size steel would be strong enough for a tank of that magnitude?

You should turn the couch the other way to watch the tank not the TV.

Congrats.
 
The stand was made from my LFS's custom stand builder. They've been making stands for them for decades and no failing issues with them. This stand is using 2" width of steel but I'm not sure if it's solid steel. I would think it might be hollow inside to save weight but it seems thick because of it's weight. I'm using a smaller diameter width steel stand for my 225g that was made by the same company and no issues with it.
 
It was such a heavy beast and sorry I didn't get pictures of moving it. It took 8 guys to get it up on the stand. Also I won't be setting it up for another week because I'm waiting for the silicone to fully dry. Also I'll be moving it back behind my couch as I was testing which location looks best;)
