Stand base is sealed and finished!! Just brought it in and did a dry fit to see how the clearances worked out. All i can say is wow am i gkad i used 2x6 instead of 2x4!! Should have just enough clearance to get the cup in and out without banging around too much. Gonna move the live rock and fish over to the 72 so i can start getting the 55 chambered and ready. In terms of layout , all im gonna do is make chamber 1 big enough for the skimmer and sock box, chamber 3 will fit the return pump tightly, and chamber 2 will get the rest. Dont mind the blue hue of the pics, my case is blue and i havent cared enough to color it black. Pic one is of the top end clearance, pic 2 is of the recessed floorpan that i designed to hold just the 55g sump. Doors all have one coat of poly stain on them, gonna toss one more on the inside just to protect against salt creep. Soo excited about getting the 55 under the main tank. Due to the new base being there, the 55 wont be nearly as hard to get into
