I think the worst part about getting back into the hobby is waiting for your tank to be built. Sigh! I guess life goes on. And you know what. It's going on each and everday without me having a tank! I know, get over it.

Start a build thread. It will pass the time... and give us something to look at.

I could post a picture of the bare wall its going against. That would be great. It would almost be as much fun as watching paint dry as that is all you will be looking at. :)

I recommend tape on the wall where the tank will go. I'm a veteran of builds without substance =)

I am waiting for the stand as well. Was never that good at welding. :)

Didnt get the right guy to build your stand or you would have had it already :lol: JK

Whats even worse then waiting for someone else to build your tank is waiting for yourself to build it. I have my glass for my 300 but no time to build it.

Well, I talked to Dave at Concept and they are sort of a one stop shop. You can get everything you need for a very reasonable price. Although, if I had the stand already, at least I could start designing the skirt for it. I should ask him about that.

Very true but sometimes you have to keep bugging him as they seem to be very busy all the time but they are great guys to deal with for sure.

Sounds like you have lots of time to make a kick ass dry rock aquascape . I find thats the hardest part for me , i like to try out several different shapes and with no tank you arnt tempted to go with the first because thats whats in the tank .

its because only 1 guy builds these tanks.... last time I talked to everyone there was a 2 month wait just to get a nano built.

Well I don't mind the wait so much especially if he can get me the stand early. I will spend some extra time ensuring the skirting looks great.
