Well after a long wait we finally made some progress on the tank stand. Now for some final touches, paneling, tabs and light hanging tube. My good buddy at MarTech engineering built the stand and tig welded it, it's crazy strong lol. So hopefully soon we'll wrap up the stand and I can send it to powder coat, you guys have any recommendations on a color? After that all I'll be waiting for is the custom sump/fuge my friend Mike is building. I'm getting excited to see it take full shape!!
 
This is a sweet tank!
 
Have you thought about putting a pump/wave maker in the drop? I've found the back of my drop could do with a little extra something and I'd do that, maybe with a closed loop built in if I was to get another built.
