Got the Stand Framed

[xxblwn408]

Well I got the stand framed and the tank is on the stand.
I really liked the way that ultimatejay did up his stand, and being that the tanks are very similar I copied his. I aslo added some braces on the back and the side against the wall. I will be adding another in the front the whole length of the stand. I will be making an access door on the left side to service the sump and to store things.
As it sits now it is level, but i did notice that the left front corner of the tank is not resting on the plywood. Sould this be a concern before I fill it? Or will the weight of the water level everything out?

Looking good, cant wait to see the tank w/ fish in it! How big is that tank anyway? Looks more like a swimming pool......

Looks great. Hey, that stand looks familiar. LOL. What kind of fish are you puttin in?

add some more bracing, and put foam between the tank and the stand to make up for it being unlevel (depending on how unlevel it is, you might want to fix it).
The last thing you want to do is trash that beast.

Awsome....one thing I wish I did to my tank was to spray paint the bottom black. This way if I decide to go bare bottom having a black bottom would look nice.
