Looks great so far! I love the stand its going to look awesome in black, I would do it up as a transparent black though so you get a lot of the wood grain in it. Do you want air sander? I can bring over a compressor and a disk sander haha you'll be done in two hours.

So if this is going in the kitchen what are you doing with the massive one that is already on that wall? Are you just transferring everything or what is going on there?

need any help with moving that behemoth let me know I'm not doing **** all until school starts!! haha

Yeah the 187 was sold, so the tank will be going in the kitchen, and the sumps and everything else will be going in the closets behind that wall in the other room. This way there is no equipment noises in the kitchen.

I sooo wish I had the air sander option earlier!! haha. My arms are sore from stripping that thing by hand.

Its definately going to be an SPS tank. Going for some nice colonies that can grow into some open space. I'll be doing a minimalist type aqua scape, as i'm filling a 90 gallon with pure live rock in the filtration section.

Here is the stand on its third coat.




Still have to do one door and start the canopy.

Wow, that stand looks 100 times better. Very nice. You definitely did well on the prep, paint looks smooth.
