Just curious, why do you have your BRS reactor hanging on the display?

Wow looking at the overflow teeth that is some beefy acrylic.

I'm a big fan of 2x4s for darn near everything around the house well done! Stand certainly looks solid enough for the job. I dig that pile of rock on the left is that your final aquascape?

Hi Steve,
Looking good love your fish selection so far,
I would have one thing to suggest to you and that would be to put some more vertical supports into your stand in the corners at to aid sure your tank does not delaminate at the ends.

I did add more vertical posts but you don't see them in the pics.I added them after I placed the tank on the stand.There is a post every 6 to 8 inches.


The BRS reactor is sitting in my overflow because I have no sump as of yet.I have 37 fish and no filtration other than water movement and gfo plus carbon and water change,Yes I do things backwards.

Rafal is very good he is helping me with the lights.I need to build I light rack.I plan on making an l shaped bracket that I can raise or lower.My welder is going to come to my house to finish the railings in the front of my home so when he finally gets his butt over here I can get him to build me 2 brackets.Lets see when that will happen.
