Sure is very, uh, .. red.

Hot damn that thang is red hot SEXY!

And you want to cover that with something like WOOD? How's about frosted glass so you see the red bits and then it's frosted enough that you don't really see the guts inside? Maybe a few dim lights inside for effect?

Dez will be along soon to suggest placing a few sprigs, twigs, and quailBalls...you've been warned!

Do you plan to have the floor under the stand finished with some paint or textured/speckled sealant or something?

Pheasantballs sound great!

We're going to finish ripping up the tile on the floor, and then we'll finish the entire floor all at once. We'll paint the floor in the fishroom, and we're on the fence about tile, or hardwood for the rest of the area. I loath carpet - immunology and infection courses ruined carpet for me.

We can't properly level the stand until a) we finish the floor, and b) we get some more weight on the stand.

Still though, isn't it pretty?!

I say you have little red LED moodlights behind the frosted glass to skirt the stand. This situation does not call for pheasant balls. The sump should be enclosed in red so that the mood lights highlight the colour and structure of the stand. You might have to check with Brett though cause he's the interior designer. I'm still trying to source out pheasant balls myself. ROFL

That stand looks awesome !!

I think it could hold up your house. I also see you have a steel I beam in main floor support, my folks have the same setup (super solid), guess they don't use steel much anymore in residential.

Cant wait to see the tank!

And I guess we only have me to blame for that. Sad to see a man that desperate that fast!
