Been a bit since my last post but here are the updates. Added PFO lighting and mag 18 return. (Thanks Chwkreefer) Moved Mag 5 to the closed loop. Cleaned up electrical and added shelf. At the same time installed 92 inch screen and LCD projector. Still chasing a leak in the closed loop and battling with a leak in the top trim. Started work on the front of the stand.

Finals started on the final stage. As with all my DIY plans change, ideas come to me in mid project. I decided not to make the stereo stand part of the fish tank stand, since it would limit my access to the back of the tank.

Update: I have been battling a trim leak for months now and finally just shortened my stand pipe. Leak Gone:mrgreen:

Here are some pic from this morning. Enjoy:turn-l:

Now the paint and hardware. Hopefully I can make it look 1000 years old in a couple days.

nice work. cant believe you did that all yourself that is alot of work. i like the idea of your tank being offset in your stand and having all that space beside it.
SHARK BAIT OH HA HA. i love that movie its one of my favourites. maybe you could get a few close ups up your tank dwellers.
