That looks pretty great! My question is... How much would you have to sell one for in order to turn a 20% profit (including paying yourself labor?) I built a stand and I figured I would have to sell it for about $1000 in order to make a business out of it.

Cost for all material and stain was around $400, took me about 12 hrs by myself. I just dont have the time to pump these out with two kids 7&8 , free time is hard to come by. Mumma had her hands full last weekend [emoji15][emoji15]

Once i get it all plumbed in, i will add the doors and sides. The doors will be overlay type and use blum 170’ soft close hinges. Prob set me back another $150.

All setup and running for about a month now. Cant say enough about sca , from the customer service to end product Steve Chow has been excellent to deal with. Like we all say... I wish i would of went bigger hahahahaha. All in all its a great size tank for 150 gallons and having the 20” synergy overflow instead of internal gives you a ton of extra real estate. Also ive heard of war stories of people saying that they cant get the overflow silent... ( maybe i got lucky ) but i had it dialed in within a day and the whole setup is dead silent , only noise i get is from real turbulent water rolling on top when im in gyre mode with mp40’s.
