all the plumbing that you can see in the tank was bought from Albert out of his trunk lol... he has a ton of stuff im sure if you asked him he would let you know where he got it, or sell you some. I think he said something about ordering it online from the states.

the stand looks beautiful. i agree though about the canopy looking too large/bulky. one of the things that i noticed in particular is the mouldings along the top of the canopy.its the only are on the setup like that and tends to make it look very top heavy. possibly mirroring it on the bottom would give more of a column look to the setup.

yea gotta love Albert he's bad ***. woulda been funny had the cops pulled up right as we are doing it might have gotten some funny looks in forest lawn lol.
all the wood used on the stand i had laying around the garage and the top moulding is this beautiful blood wood that i couldnt resist using but in hind site it does kinda make that tank look funny. I was thinking maybe if i added some accents to the tank in blood wood it might make it mesh more but i dont know if i should completely scrap the canopy or not its just so huge.... Richard

Looks great. I was just about to ask why the pretzel for the returns instead of a plain T but then it occured to me you must have a siphon break up there.
Anyhow, cool looking setup so far.
