Subman's Jump into the big leagues (225g)

[subman]

Just a quick update, Ive been working on getting the stand done. Would have been done sooner but the NHL playoffs have been a lottle distracting!!

Here are some pics:

I covered the bottom plywood with a sheet of melamine so its not pressure treated plywood directly on the carpet.



All the internal sides of the wood has been painted with an oilbased primer and then multiple coats of a latex kitchen and bath paint.



I've also been working on the controller box..



Still some more mounting to do in there including the vortech controllers.

Hey Jason, slow down. You're making my build look bad(if thats possible). Let me know if you need a hand with anything, everything looks good.

Nice work
Your controller box has me thinking how exposed my sump panel is. Time for some brainstorming

I really wanted everything under the stand but was afaid of the splashing. I already replaced the motherboard on this profilux and I don't want to do it again.

Well today was a big day! Chris was amazing enough to come over with a set of suction cups and help me lift the monster onto the stand.







I can't say enough good things about Chris (lapdog2011) he offers to help lift a 500lb tank on his day off, because he wants to see me happy with my purchase! Unbelievable service and a great person.

I always thought that you had to have a full time job to have days off
