Made some progress on the wood, here is a few shots so far/.....
Going with the mission style I like it simple. going to stain with a walnut stain. now is here is problem. I have to wait 2 weeks for the birch wood to come in to make the doors. However Dwayne showed me some maple that i can mix with it so i stained them both and I will get you a pic uploaded so you can see the difference. the maple is a bite lighter, however I can do another coat or 2 on it.
Here is the 15" shelf tower with adjusting shelves I will be cutting out a feeding hole and a Vortech hole so I can move the powerhead around.
Looking down this baby is 12' 3" long and 83" high
looking at the front
here is a size comparsion for ya. I think it's turning out pretty good so far.
I'm hoping to stain the whole stand by this weekend and caulk around the seams in the right tower where the sump and Skimmer is going to be. may be next week to start filling it
