No shipping sorry. Honestly that table isn't worth the wood it's made of. We have decided to toss it in the trash.

Hoping to start the build of the stand soon

Met with Eli today. Designed a nice setup using 63 lbs of rock (I believe Pukani)

And here is a short video of the rock layout that Eli posted so kindly on Youtube for us. You can really see just how many little nooks and crannys are there for fish and other critters to use.

I've been long overdue for an update on this build.

Got together and built the skeleton of the stand with a friend yesterday. Brought it home and set into place with the tank on it.

Looks like I need to find a smaller ato tank for the bottom level, or bite the bullet and get Concept to build me a custom sump with built in ato compartment. I'm somewhat leaning towards option b as finding a tank to fit in the small space I need will be more difficult.

All that I need to do on the stand now is skin it and stain the whole thing. Then onto the fun part of plumbing and starting the cycle.

Spoke with Eli and Matt today regarding the tank. Eli mentioned I could go ahead and add in the sand to the rocks now.

Looking at doing a custom sump built by Concept to fit into the bottom of the stand, and will be plumbing everything in before Jim and I go ahead and put the skin on the stand.

Here is a short video I shot today to show more of the nooks and crannies setup by the rock.
