UPDATE - Tank Pics

[Kronk]

Well I chickened out and painted the stand black... then siliconed the overflow, buckheads and the baffles in the sump.

DISASTER when I went to do the sump baffles though.. the silicone tube kind of burst a little and instead of doing the sensible thing and throwing it in the garbage and buying another one i figured i could make it work... and maybe i did but it looks freaking terrible. Whatever sumps arent supposed to be pretty right???

With any luck i will doing the plumbing in the next couple of days and be adding water by the end of the week.

I added some pics to the link above.
