Alright guys so i was able to cut the trim and add it to the top and finish the stand and patched up the holes where the screws are. Going to run to Home depot tomorrow morning and get some primer so i can get this baby painted up. Still have to add the doors but i think i'm gonna go the lazy route and buy some cabinet doors lol.

Nice size stand, great for viewing. This is the reason why I like having my stands built because have the extra height and for inside space under the tank. Following along !!

Yea was going to buy the stand but then I saw how little space I have for decent size sump and how low the stand was actually so just made my own for way way cheaper then buying

So made more time this weekend to finish painting and putting a high gloss on the stand. Also went to [MENTION=9]AQUAPROS[/MENTION] and picked this bad boy up today Eshoppe ADV-100 3rd Generation. Always great to go see david and get amazing prices. Thanks again.

Cause of water. If it shorts out it will trip instead of starting on fire or shocking you
Shouldnt be more than 25 bucks for outlet and a cover

Yes. But make sure the circuit is off. Or youll get zapped. If the house is wired right. Black is hot, white is neutral and green or copper is ground

I bought my tank used with a Durso standpipe and return. The previous owner had the plumbing modified so it's pretty quiet. I got lucky on that one
