Looking good. :thumbsup:

Always apply at least two coats of polyurethane if not three. Don't forget to sand with 220 or finer between coats.
 
Nice cat killz.... lol, didnt thike i'd see it did you???


Samich nice tank, i've always wanted a really long tank. looks sweet. the tank also looks really good, with some stain on it it will look awsome, good craftman**** too, one thing though. you might want to redo the corners on the bottom and top. well what i would do to cover it up is get some wood molding and mider that.

i midered the trim on my last stand. didnt want to deal with the hassle of them not lining up right this time so i just didnt do it.
 
second coat of polyurethane went on yesterday. going to start the pumping now. my pump (quiet one 4000) has a return of 1" should i keep it at 1" or go up to 1 1/4"
