I have finished stand and all plumbing for my project and WOW is awsome I will post pics with stand and tank and sump and skimmer as soon as I can this has been a rewarding experiance that words cannot tell so keep an eye on this project cause it will be told !!! This project has been a job but it was very fun!!!!! can't wait for final results in afew month's. Iv'e decided that I"m doing a HQI metal hylide for light instead of a canopy with compact flouresants have not made full plans for lighting yet but I am doing HQI!!!

Stang Man

I have completed project and is now inside the house still don't have a clue where to put it!! Lol I drilled all holes and finished installing sump and skimmer I decided on not doing a canopy because I want the tank to be open and also decided on doing metal hylide lights I'm leaning more toward clamp on type. To end this I saved a ton of money on my tank insurance!!!Lol
