Yeah I think Dvega is a cabinet maker and I'm grateful for her input. Of course this thread is about the plumbing, I wasn't specifically asking about the stand but her input is valuable non the less..........
 
question... did you make the background out of Styrofoam? if so, please tell me how its done, wheather its hear or in a pm or something cuz i really wanted to do it for my tank, but i dont know how to, ive been doing a little bit of research, and i need to know what do use and stuff, the reason im asking you is because yours look amazing! lol, i wanted to know how to do it myself, how did you get the colors and design so real?!

Ah this thread wont die :D

The background is "Mesa Rock Wall" panels they all fit together and cost $45 each. I needed 5 for this tank. Then there was two fake rocks I glued on the wall to give it some depth. It's all detailed in the thread. Good stuff and lots of pics.

Thank you for the good feed back, very nice.

I love the natural look a background creates. It was super easy to install but cost a few $$$. For guys like me with zero artistic talent, this was my only option.
