Almost done with 3rd round of stain... Much better!!!!! (we had a slight issue with the front skin bowing because I didn't want to put nails in-between cabinets. I re-liquid nailed it and no issues now.

Honestly we really have no skills...Well hardly any.... Lol. If it wasn't for the table saw(oh my gosh, I don't even know if that's what it's called lol) we wouldn't have been able to do it. I did a lot of the cuts myself... If I can do it, anyone absolutely can! :)
 
I think you will be happier with the center overflow..will help with water flow. Have you given further thought to the closed-loop idea vs. the Korallia's? It would be a little more upfront, but it is not something that can be done later unless you drain tank..just a thought.

Oh, your stand is awesome - I hope no one is believing your little story about "we really didn't know what we were doing"...blah, blah, blah..the stand is WAY too nice for a beginner!

Glad you agree with the center as well. Dave nixed the closed loop idea.... Oh well. It was a great suggestion though. Thank you...

-and thank you for the compliments on the stand :) Lol, I still stand by my story, perhaps a hidden talent? ;) .... Should I finally post a pic of the stand finished and in the house?...maybe tonight. :)

I got some more done this weekend detail wise as well.
 
So I captured this a few days ago- thought I'd share :)
