Still have lots to do , but the sides and doors on the stand and plumb the tank . Maybe make a canopy

Problem #1 find a truck to pick up my tanks
Solution - pay a friend with a van a box of beer !

Problem #2 sump is same with as display , no go for wood
Solution - build your own stand in the shop

Problem #3 stand be to big for my car to bring it home and to big and heavy
Solution - build a stand I can bolt together at home and fits in my trunk with aluminum

Very nice. What light are you planning on running. I love the large sump gives you plent of room to put reactors and should be easy to clean the sediments.
