TheClark Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 With that plywood sheathing, wow that is one sturdy stand! Love the wiring closet concept on the side of the stand, every stand should have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicyclebill Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Nice to see the 40b in action. Very creative holder for the filter sock, I love the stuff people think of! How about the string holding $700 worth of lights on that post?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 How about the string holding $700 worth of lights on that post?!? C'mon Bill the standard issue military grade paracord. That's stuff is bomb proof! In all seriousness I needed a quick remedy for lights as when I opened my box of bulbs I just got from Aquacave they were all broke and I handed off the last two OR T 247 I had, Aquacave made it right and shipped new ones out same day. Should have Thursday. And I wish only $700 they are a cool G note for two and I got four and don't know if I am going to use them or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ReefBox Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 So did a little trim work on stand today before work, obviously lots more to do and a whole lotta prep before paint. But here's a couple pics of first corner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Tank is beautiful Brian. You can't beat the look of a low iron rimless glass tank. With your stand and nice sps that's gonna be amazing. I mean not as cool as my 20 gallon nano with the ikea stand but a pretty close second!???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
