I went to the local store, took a look at their stands, and I am pretty sure the table will hold the weight. I am definitely going to reinforce the joints with shelf mountings, the rest I am going to get my Dad's help as he is very good at this sort of thing. While I was at the store, I also talked to the man there about getting live rock and sand from him, and his price, is about half of what it would cost me to get it online, and it is much better quality. He also can get me the livestock for a much more reasonable price as he has things sent to the airport and then picks them up personally. He did however point out that because of new policies and the oil spill, it is going to be more difficult to get caribbean species. So I have decided to let myself wander a little. Here is my new stocking list. I am open to suggestions and alternatives.
