No, stopped playing video games soon after the PS2 came out. These games are so in depth and take lots of time to play.

We both know I stopped after Frogger. Lol

Because of PTSD after seeing all those frog bodies splattered across the road?

I am kinda stressing about the new stand. I want to make it slightly oversized. Others say no. Thoughts?

I like the look of of a stand built to be flush with the tank, but i would like more room in mine. I guess it comes down to a balance between form and function.

I like both a flush look but also a 2” or 3” lip can be nice. Not too big where it winds up being a shelf but big enough for a cup of food or jar of whatever...

That's what I want. 3" on each side bigger.

As long as your supports are under the actual tank its doable. I know you’ve seen Greybeards setup which is beautiful!

bigger. Having extra room with the sump will be nice.

I just can't afford to mess this up. I'm kinda sweating.

Exactly why I usually wind up buying a stand. Even having the lumber pre-cut I still messed up my one attempt at building one. Keep in mind I dont have the tools to do much of any wood working aside from a screw gun and hammer :) You can no doubt do it better than I.

as long as you didnt wet yourself as well its all good

I have always done the others. This is my first rimless and it will be the last one I make for Andrew.

It has to be at least 12 ounces wide, at least in the front. :-)

So cup holders are tacky?
