Well, lots of work went into this already. Does it look decent? Suggesitons and opinions please. For some reason my separations in my sump/refugium isn't stable enough, but i've got enough silicone gunk all over my handds today...hehe. I'll post pics of sump soon when i get it working.

Here it is:

SOrry, the tank is lit by 2 X 250 Iwasaki 6500k for now, not burnt in yet, and no actinic blues.

Well I think you stole my idea!!! LOL. I am trying to get the guts to build my own stand. My biggest gripe with my current stand is the 6" center support between the doors...what idiot thought that a 8" opening was enough? (or am I the idiot for buying the thing.)

Anyway, I figure that if I used 4x4s for the supports I should be able to nix the center support.
