Great stand design! I'll be building a similar one for my 40breeder soon...thx for the ideas . What kind of paint, primer and sealants did you use?

I'd have to go out to out side and look at the can's but it was an exterior latex.
I'll have a look in the morning and post the brand for you

I just don't get it....this over flow is supposed to be rated for 1200 gph.....but If i have the return pump on more then about 1/3 of the way it gurgles like crazy and makes a heck of a racket

I haven't taken any recent close up's of the tank.....kinda looks like crap atm......just moved it the other day to the new house.
After everything clears up I'll post a few pic's of it.
