I bought it all as a package off of Craigslist. I think I have everything I need from beginning till I get into SPS... just need to learn to utilize it all properly. This is where all you experts come into play to help/advise me!

Alrighty so bit of an update..
Went to home depot today to buy the plywood for the stand and basically got total brainwashed into making a frame out of 2x4. So back I came and took out all the trusty 2x4s and started to build the stand. Now I have a pretty strong frame made out of 2x4s.... Its 70% done. Gonna pick up the finishing materials tomorrow and continue working on it. Planning to have it all done and ready by wednesday! Here are a few pics.. A family friend of mine helping me out throughout the day!  Basic frame is ready!!  Another View  The scene of the garage at the end of the day  Thanks for looking!!

So photobucket is not back with a new site layout... so here are the pics of the stand build thus far!
Left side - Big opening for me to be able to work on the skimmer and whatever else will go on this side of the sump  Full open front for easy access to the sump and fuge area  Right side - Big opening for me to access all electrical stuff.. I'm thinking about making a small electrical cabinet on this side to keep it all almost completely away from water. It depends on how much space is left after I hook up my external pump and other things.  Another view  Installed the braces on top for the added support  Here is the top, made out of 1/2" MDF with the cut out for the overflow and return pipes  Right side with top on with 1/2 moulding work done - Ran out of the moulding pieces.  Left side with top on with complete moulding work done.  Another view showcasing the front and left side.. ofcourse not all finished yet with the mouldings.
