I figured I would start a build thread.
Big box. I got a good feeling about the quality of the tank, just from the quality of the shipping crate. WOW!

I finally got the stand together. Not just waiting for a friend to come over had help me mount the tank.

A sneak peak under the hood.

I built a mounting wall for all the controller bits. I post more on that later. I was tired and didn't get a pic.

More to come.
 
Small delay in finishing up. When the tank was about 1/2 full I noticed some "bounce" to the floor when walking in front of the tank. I live in a Townhouse with a crawl space so no option for placing on concrete. I didn't get the feeling that it was going to collapse the floor or anything, I just want more stability. After emptying the tank, I went to Home Depot and picked up some floor jacks. I'm going to try to put them in this week but, it may be a bit before I can get to that.
