no fair!.....I do all the work, she gets to enjoy the tank and I have nothing here in Calgary

I cant really afford Radions either.....thats why it took so long for me to get things together for this tank....and I even have friends in high places and got a discount.....Im happy with my choice so far.....I think the four of them will be enough

thanks Brett......didnt yo Mama ever tell you, it's not polite to ask a guy about his "sag".....It does sag slightly, like maybe a 1/4"....not enough that Im gonna worry about it.....I made this one out pine, so Im sure that it will warp and twist....I used pine cuz its cheap....I didnt want to spend a lot of mulah on something when I wasnt sure if four Radions was gonna be enough for the tank....if I decide to stick with four I may either make another one out of maple or get Grizz to fabricate one out of metal....

Thanks Brad.....I literally threw it together in about a 1/2 hour...the painting is what took the time

be quiet you
