Wow,impressive!

And Rob,you may think a list is coming but instead will be invoices,haha.

You need to after you sand it,get a small strip of wood to go around the base of the stand to cover the black plastic.Quick and cheap.What color are you going to stain it?

Wish I could find such good deals here,lol.

Bev, yea i know it will be credit card statment maxed out lol, but its all good we both enjoy the fish so its worth it, staining it right now i have no idea depends on what she wants really, might do somthing light so it would match the other one that we have, light oak or somthing, i didnt think of the strip at bottom to cover the black plastic that would look really good ill do that thanks

Looks like it can be a real showpiece. Alot of work ahead but it will be all worth it. I understand what you mean Bev all the tanks on craiglist for me are 30g for 75$ -_-, I can get a brand new one for cheaper lol. I also like the idea of a wood strip to cover the plastic. Go with a dark mahogany finish i love that stain type.
