Okay, Im waiting for some things to dry so I figured I would post some pictures for everyone. The stand is almost done, one more coat of stain on the trim should do it.

I also did one of the baffles for the sump. I only did the one because I have never built anything like this that needs to be water tight. So I just wanted to make sure before I did them all, and at least in my mind had to re-do them all. But It held... surprise.

I also wanted to add a picture of my 90g planted freshwater community tank!

Thanks!

Finished the stand and baffles in the sump, planning on leak testing it later tonight. I'm also hoping to head into RC tomorrow to drop my tank off to be drilled. Hopefully by next weekend I have water cycling through the tank... wouldn't that be exciting!

Mmmm starbucks..

What type of rubber did you use on the stand? I am looking for something to line the sump area of my stand for my large, looks like pretty good stuff you used.

Just found it at Home Depot, in the flooring section. I think it was 30 bucks for a 27inch wide by 5 feet or so long.

Product placement?

Thanks for all the greetings to the forum people, mucho appreciative. And an even bigger thanks for turning me towards RC, Kevin has been awesome. The guy knows his stuff, which is very helpful to a guy like me (Knows very little). Im sure ill make it up there one day on the weekend to meet Doug. Speaking of RC I dropped my tank off there today to be drilled, and decided that it would be in everyones best interest if I let them build the overflow as well. The overflow will be visible in the display tank, my silicone job on the sump will not thankfully. Ill get some more pictures up when I get the tank home and set up.

Thanks again all

Got the tank back from RC and it looks great. Ran into a hiccup with the plumbing though. Couldn't find 1 1/2 inch pvc at either rona or home depot, which is the size of the overflow. Was able to find all that was needed in ABS plastic but I didnt know if that would work. Everything in my minds says that it should work fine for the overflow because its not running pressurized. But i have not seen pictures of anyone using it for any of their plumbing. Would ABS pipe work?

Thanks.

ABS will be fine. Most dont use it because the selection of fittings is pretty lacking

Slight Update, half plumbed up...

Kevin at RC did a great job on the overflow

If anyone sees any better ways of doing any of this let me know.

Thanks
