I'd still use a thin layer of foam, IMO it's just too dangerous to not.

Well I'm not going to use the counter top. for the tank to sit on. Im going to use stryofoam and have the ply wood to sit higher then the tank.

More pictures woll follow this weekend probably will finish the stand.

Well I have the stand made. Its at a friends house now. all I have to do is cut the door for the left side and match it up with the stain. I hope I can match it up I might make a door for it instead of buying one from home depot..

here is the skimmer I did a leak test on it to test it out and good thing I found a ew leaks in the skimmer in the rgasket on the first flange. and then the gate vlave was leaking too. but now I have the thing water proof I hope...........

here is the skimmer with the gate valve and a extension this is what I was talking about.

I should have put a union on there I think....


Here is the dual beckett that will work with the MAK 5 and it also has a ozne port too..
