It's at a "stand" still. Bahaha...so funny. Woo...

Ya, so I'm going to buy some stuff for it today, actually mostly just plumbing. I've been having troubles finding the time to get the plywood cut. I have to either do it by hand using a circular saw, or go to my boss's place to use his big table saw to get the 28" width, which I would MUCH rather do. It just hasn't worked out yet. Due to the way I have decided to finish it, it doesn't need to be super nice cuts, so I may just do it with the circular saw.

I bought a sheet of plywood an I got my door all made up too. I need to start work on putting the overflow in the tank and start figuring out the canopy.

I'm selling my truck and gonna buy a car with cash, so I'm keeping the tank budget really tight right now so I can save up as much money as possible before the truck goes. I may not work on the stand for awhile.

Ok, I did some work today. A little anyway.

2 sheets of standard grade 3/4" plywood $50.
2 lbs of 1 3/4" screws $8.

I glued and screwed the plywood on. Gotta cut my doors out now, and put the top on, and the lower shelf. I have the plywood cut for the canopy too, but it's not put together yet.

I'm trying to decide if I still want to go with doors on three sides or not. I did want it for easier access to the Banger grow out tanks in there, but now I'm not doing that. It will just be a 25g sump, so I'm not sure I need the three doors. BUT, I already have the hardware, and when I move the stand I'll be able to take the doors off and the tank will be a bit lighter. This stand is HEAVY!!!
