Tank looks awesome! I'm a fan of black on black.. Lightly planted, with a good credit score and low self confidence...

But seriously... Looks BA!

Look forward to updates!

Babbling anyone? Haha

The tank and stand are looking good. The cloudy water will subside in time don't worry.

I considered painting the stand black but finally chose to go with the same color as the wall and the trim in white. Makes it look like it's part of the there and not a piece of furniture.

I like the white personally, looks clean.

How do you access the filtration below without doors?

Wall behind the tank is a closet so I cut access to get to the bottom.

Very cool, I would have used a 55g+ sump with that space back there.

That would have been a good idea but I'm limited on space under the stand after incorporating in the fireplace. The canisters are gonna have to be up for the task. I ordered 2 ac110 from amazon yesterday for $69 each and they should be in on Thursday. I also replaced all the carbon with polyfill and plan on adding purgien.

Trim painted with first coat waiting for it to dry for the second coat.
