TANK IS IN!

And made my own stand (needs some more pieces screwed but the drill machine ran out of battery and never knew it would take ages to charge!)

Anyway, since this is my first DIY stand, there are some faults and I was just wondering whether it will be of any problem:

1. The tank with rim is actually 40.5" and 20.5" but I made the stand as 40" and 20"; will that be any issue?

2. Some of the woods at the corner are not totally smooth and on same plane like this (in the bottom pic). Will that be any issue?

3. And what about this?

Hoping to get some insights from DIY gurus

Tomorrow is plumbing day.

Last (but not the least), I would like to thank Dave and Denny for their tremendous support and hours and hours of explaining stuffs. Really appreciate all the efforts

And thanks to Matt (mattjoly I believe) for his insights too

And ofcourse to those who have posted in this thread and will keep on posting, giving suggestions and flaming

Is it still funny when your the only one laughing? Kirk vrs Gorn is a classic it reminded me of your aqua scape. Anyway are you planing on using a epoxy or somthing to hold your rocks together ? If I was starting from scratch I would . I was working on the rock today it all looked good and than I had a major rock slide making a few unwanted sps frags .

I am not planning to use any epoxy since if I want to reaquascape (which I will :P), it will be a PITA. Will just use the theory of center of mass to balance everything
