Not too long....ha..ha.. I love it! It took me a year to build mine. What was I doing all that time? I'm along for the build 'cause I like watching another monster go together.

Nice sturdy stand there.

Thanks a lot i watched your build from the begining and learned a lot from you thanks for all the work you put in to keeping us all updated. I only wish my tank will be as nice as yours.

wow that stand is a beauty. What'd the steel beams set you back and where did you get them?

[chris c]

The steel beams are from varsteel 5''x5'' and there are 4 of them under the tank. they were about 700.00 for all of them i think i only needed 3 but you have to by them in 20' lenghts.

That's going to be one kick *** tank! Your 280 is not too shabby either That's an insane amount of xenia!

I like that you are going with the vortechs, I really enjoy mine. How are you planning the placement of 5? Two on each end on in the middle?

[chris c]

Thanks yes it is a lot of xenia its one of the few things my angles dont eat and it spreds like a weed. For now there will be 2 vortechs on each end and on on the back with plans to add 2 more on the back i hope this will work. I really like the new vortechs with the wave driver they do a great job in my 280.
