Looking good.  I'm enjoying following your build.   Keep the updates and pictures coming.

I want to see how those "white wings" to the right and left of the tank will contrast with the tank itself.

The wings are going to be color matched with the stand. Ths stand was actually done until I found that butcher board in one of our containers and it left some open space on top of the stand pictured above (it also saved me a bunch of sanding). The wings are an attempt to trim the leftover space. 

One final touch up of paint and we will be leak testing asap!

Oh awesome I might be able to make this one! And right in time for the move to the new tank!

Super delayed! But its got primer! 

 

I knkw you solved your lighting but i figured I should drop this here anyways

@Telegraham did a review on these and they seem pretty potent for their price point.

Im interested but your inbox is full I believe.

Looking for some frags of Gsp clove polyps leathers zoas mushrooms ect. My son has done well with fowlr for a year now and wanted to move him forward abit. Just a good beginner pack essentially. 

I have not ordered from salt critters before but ive ordered from 

Saltyunderground: no issues packing material isnt as good as the following three companies but bags were stapled and tied no doas

Tidalgardens: ordered 2x professional shipper would order again was sending reefroids samplers with every order no doas

WWC: won a frag pack from them same shipping material as tidalgardens their kenya tree is indestructible no doas

Topshelfaquatics: orded 1x same as two above got zoas purchased single polyps every frag had 3+ polyps no doas 

Reefcleaners: ordered 1x got 3x the amount of dwarf cerith snails no doas sent a bag free shells as well!

Not really an answer but hopefully helpful information. 

They would be in a species only tank if i got them honestly they look so good but the shyness is kind of off putting 

Does anyone have one or have experience with them? These are incredible to look at.

Thanks I was really not pleased with the way it seemed to be going and I will be painting the stand now. Ive got dark brown flooring and was trying to stay with the wood grain but I think paints going to be better.  Ive also decided to finish the inside of the stand and waterproof 5 inches up inside to contain any spills inside. Ill post some more pictures later today after I get to work on it some more. 

Also interested in purchasing!

Question! To stain or paint I purchased this stain 

And I the panel below is with 1 coat I think it needs at least 2 more coats but im worried that it might not look as good as just going gloss black paint.  Has anyone used black stain on their wood stands and if so did you like it? Howd it turn out? And would you share picture please?

So after starting the hobby over a year ago Im getting around to setting up the 75g I purchased at the beginning of 2021!

Ive got the skeleton of the stand build its a typical  2x4 build

Tomorrow is sanding skinning and staining day! Im going with a flush front panel that is removable . Also will be assembling the sump which is a 20l with some Frankenstein baffles.

Here is my rock work thats been done for over a year! Ill keep pictures coming tomorrow as well

Gone please close!

Is it new? 

I purchased it from CfC as a Like new item and then used it on a timer for 10 hours a day at medium intensity for about a week. Id say its on the newer side
