The panel, if the panels are gunna be that color maybe the trim a little darker than the panel to give a nice contrast

This is by far my least favorite part of a build lol

Lol i dont doubt that i havent done much staining but ive done alot of painting it gets old fast plus choosing right colors can be tricky

 

[Wade91789]

I can paint all day but I can't ever get stain to be an even color over the whole thing lol

 

[vance1013]

Lol practice and more practice

 

[vance1013]

Any updates pics

Unfortunately no... Trying to do this so close to the holidays is proving a bit more difficult then I expected lol

 

[vance1013]

That is true lol my builds have slowed way down too

 

[Wade91789]

Still taking a break??

 

[Mrc8858]

Yeah I have so many different projects all going on at the same time. Right now I'm doing some work on my SW side of things. My reef always takes priority over any of my FW it seems lol. Hopefully I can get this back on schedule real soon which when my taxes come in will be a perfect time.

I haven't stopped looking for that front pane of glass though lol. I browse within 200 miles trying to find the right deal on a 8'x2'x3/4" pane of glass. 6' is easy but 8' is proven kinda rare lol.

 

[Wade91789]

Lol I bet so.. It's gonna look so good without a break in the middle tho

Hey Mrc I'm headed to lowes to get some lumber for a stand and I was wondering if you used a stand templet or something?

 

[Mrc8858]

I just build to what I am wanting at the time. The legs are always the same the only difference are the dimensions on how tall the stand will be and large the tank is. Check out uarujoey out at YouTube and search stand build. That is the same design I use. Unfortunately though this tank has been put on the back burner since the stand is now gonna be used for my two new frag tanks

 

[Mrc8858]

Here's it is with the top and bottom covered finally lol.

Thank you yours looks so good I wanted to do one just on a smaller scale lol
