StirCrazy is on a distinguished road
Default Stand is finaly done

the idea of a bottom drilled didn't sit right with me, I know I know lots are bbut I kinda felt a bit safer having only 20ish gal leak out than all 90 if something went wrong.. also if I decided to use it with out a sump I can just plug the holes and not wory about if it is on a solid stand or not.

another big factor was realestate. a bottom drilled bulkhead and overflow takes away probably 20 + in square of surface area. the way I did it I can start the overflow boxes 15" above the bottom so I reclaim all that sand bed area. (if I use overflow boxes)

I hope this makes sence..
at leastt it did to me... [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
