I finally built my stand on Sunday. Looks okay, but need your opinion. I don'thave supports for refugium, so I had to put it straight on the carpet. I don't know what I can do. Thanks.

here is my setup after sand and stand, no overflows, or pipings, but it's done. [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

It looks fine, if you want to add supports for your refugium you could attatch 2x2 runners along the bottum edge of your lower support that you can attatch your refugium supports to then it can also be on the stand. Skip

Looks good elmo [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Just take a level and measure it all the way around the bottom of the stand, and then on top of the tank if its level on all four sides both top and bottom you are golden!

Thanks guys!! I tested my Iwaki and the power shut off and everythign works afterwards, so hopefully this means no leaks. I will post pictures of finished setup soon. My gosh....I have lots of water movement... I guess the next step is to build me a hood/canopy for my MH and VHO's.

Thanks again for the suggestions,

Ilham
