Also lined the inside of the stand with 1/2" styrofoam to help with and noise and keep the wood from collecting and moisture.



Started to configure the sump with the skimmer's and build a cover for it.

Also had an idea for a carbon box off my skimmers. So here is the start of the construction. Took about 20 min to get this far, building 2 of them.

Ya I decided to go with 2 - 4' door instead of 4 - 2' with double hinges. Have to get the wife out this weekend to help me stain it and then the tank can go back on it finish the plumbing.

The new owner's of the BF are having a wall removed before they get the tank so I would say I have a couple more weeks.

They are doing some reno's to make there living room bigger instead of trying to build a tank into the wall. They decided it would be better to go this way to keep more room open.
