Greedy Boss guards one of the jumbo logs he's claimed. He tried for the third log too but can't fit.

Some evening mode shots. It's mostly quiet except for the tank bosses. Everyone else has retreated for the night. Boss relaxes along the back wall under the filter waterfall. He loves the flow and can sit there for hours with the water flapping his fins.
A nosey Brick leaves his pit and checks out the camera!
The 125 stand will be arriving tomorrow between 12-5pm. I hauled the tank from the garage into the rec room and put it on a dolly. The first shipment of sand arrived today. Background is blue.
The stand is here! All 450 lbs of it, lol. Half of that weight must have been packing. I could make another stand out of the extra wood! The truck driver was kind enough to help me crack the crate open. Took us about 35 minutes. Then we had to turn the whole crate on its side to free the bottom, crack off a wood frame, stand it back up and roll the stand out!
Anyway, here is the side view. Ash wood with clearcoat. The seal is very subtle, the wood doesn't look unnaturally shiny, just rich. I ordered no lip on mine so it has a flat top.

Back view with cutouts. All solid wood.
Front view with contemporary/modern doors. Custom Aquariums also offers Classic syle doors. Both styles have three trim levels.
Doors open. Plenty of space!
Detail showing door hinges. The craftsmanship of this company has never disappointed. Tip: GET THE CASTER CART WHEELS! They'll save your back and sanity. $600 ain't cheap but it's less costly than a surgically repaired hernia.
Definitely looks like a good stand - it’s hard to come by those these days. I barely trust half of mine.
