Hey Andy, looks like the tank is coming along nicely. :)

I saw earlier in the thread you were talking about using a color stain on the stand, did you end up using something else?

Andy, great job on stand and paint color chosen. You could always do a little glazing on the trim pieces and applique for that added touch. there are some nice and easy metallic glazes that would really set off the Key-lime Green.

Cheers, Todd

Todd, do you know what name this product is sold as? Sounds interesting.

Isn't Jim running them in some of his tanks. If so has he seen any stress?

Not too sure.

Thank you! Colors are slowly coming around but still have a little ways to go.

Tank is still looking great. I was looking back through this thread again this evening. Really love the tank and that sump. I am about to bite the bullet and order a 125 from Reef Savvy. Do you know if Aquabox is still making sumps? I tried going to the site that I had visited before and it said the site had "expired." I was wanting to talk to them. Keep up the good work.

Thanks bro! Aqua Box is at a stand still for the moment. If you go with Reef Savvy then you would be making a wise choice. Felix can make a tank!

I never did go with the stain though I think if I didn't go with the Key Lime color I would have went and did the stain. It was like a Nantucket red color wood stain. This is what I ended up using.

Going to go a different path with the stain color than the traditional natural wood color. I think Im going to go with the fruit punch stain for this stand. It gives it a more tropical feel. Plus I can further enhance it with some really cool knobs from World Imports.

This is the color I was going to go with. Minwax (fruit punch)

Well, ordered my tank today from Reef Savvy. A 125. Guess I will get it sometime around Thanksgiving. I think you are a bad influence. :-) Too bad about Aquabox.
