Here it goes after much thinking and frustration I started the build! To start my floors are steel with concrete pads! So the floor was so unlovely. Leveling it was a disaster. I got hen got a 3/4” price of plywood and shimmed between the stand and plywood. Time to fill her up!

. I then began adding Oatey Bath tub liner to help prevent major spills onto the carpet

Me and my mom designed some doors I carved she painted them.

I have one concern though... the stand was built with a oval that stretches almost the whole back side to install the bulkheads. Should I worry about the center brace not being supported in this section

Call me paranoid but do you think this support will hold up the tank?

Love the custom doors and I like what you did with the back-splash. Have fun!

As long as the bottom rim of the tank sets on top of the edges of the stand and its coplanar (sets flat and level at all four corners) then your good.

Well I got my sump I’m really impressed with it! Apparently after searching for Sump’s I came across this Marine Depot Sump made by Trigger Systems. Recieved it today this Sump is awesome!

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
