Stand 90% done. Gotta get some weight on it, get it leveled and add some bracing, then I'm good to go.

A couple friends are on the way this afternoon to help me lift the tank onto the stand :)

Edit. Why the hell can you not resize images with the tag on this site? blah.. Images are links because they're huge...[/QUOTE]


YOu could always resize them before uploading, using either "Microsoft Picture Manager" or Windows "Paint"

I could.. But really, I should be able to do it with the code. Its a feature in BBcode, I just can't figure out why its turned off.

honestly, I don't want to resize them prior to upload. a) its extra work. b) I have two file versions. c) you can't click the image to see it full size and see more detail.

Anyways. Tank is up, water in, 2 ac110'S and a Rena Xp3 running to clear out the sand muck (I did rinse, I swear!) The filters are cycled, 55 gallons of the tank water were from another tank, fish in as soon as the cloud filters out some.

Photos in a little bit.

If you open them in MSPM, you can select them all, change them all and save them all at once! It's a snap, really!

Aren't you using the "Insert Photo" button for your pics?

Better yet, here you go.... I use ImageShack.com to host my pics... They ahve a bulck uploader that runs right off of your PC and is Very quick. Once again depending on your PC/internet Combo...

I purposely didn't link them with the image tag because they were too big for the forum and made it annoyingly side scroll.

I'll resize in a bit when I add a few more from the last of tonight's work. If you don't mind, please edit out the photos so I can post them at the proper size.

I know how to resize them, I just am annoyed that I have to, no matter how easy it is, its not as easy as typing [ img=800x600]

Ok, resized.. blah.

Its going behind a bar, so the bottom of the tank is 43" high. That makes the top taller than me. Maintenance is going to suck!

I rinsed and rinsed.. Still silted up the water.. I love sand substrate, but I hate this part of it. It'll be clear tomorrow, then I'll aquascape and add the fish :)
