My suggestion for the table is a brown crayon (no really, it's worth a try).

Tanks look great. Man I love the look of a new tank, the clean lines and everything.

Where'd you pick up the tru-union valve?

Thanks Tony.

Yeah washing the table seems to have helped a bit. I noticed later I put two gashes in there haha but I think it's crayon time.

The 2" TU ball valve is from Bulk Reef Supply. I picked up a 1.5" and 4 1" of the same style and I'm glad I did since they are well built and turn so nicely. I bought all my fittings, valves and pipe from BRS. I'm waiting on a few more things from them to finish my plumbing. My black flex pvc should arrive same day (27th) so I am pumped.

So the stand is officially completed. I was happy to get this done before the tile we used on the fireplace got discontinued or something! These photos show the finished exterior and the plumbing I did inside. 2 inputs into the sump that wrap behind the skimmer are for the refugium drains. That will be a 20 gallon on a shelf somewhere in there. Thanks for lookin'!

looks really good good idea on grouting the tops into a angle and leaving no grout lines on main doors.

That is a great looking setup so far... The tank itself looks great! When will it see water?
