That's a great size. So If you want to do all the plumbing first then what your saying is there will be water in it Tomorrow

Actually yes! Well, maybe...

The plumbing is as simple at taking the "herbie" drain from my old tank and then reducing it down 1/2" to fit this tanks bulkheads. Jack was nice enough to give me some of his plumbing for the tank. And the return pump is very simple to plumb, so...should be done tomorrow but we all know it never works that way

I have to level the stand too. Not sure yet how I should make up the 1/4" it slopes forward.

Originally I wanted to actually paint the stand too before filling it but now that I have it, I doubt I can wait a few days to fill it up

Hey.
how is the bottem of your stand built? Is it sheeted flat or are there 2x4's under it?

the black trim of the tank and the white of the stand are perfect.

Nice house!

Very chic with the concrete walls.

Yeah its a nice place. Very small condo but we fell in love with the building and this is all we could afford. We love it though! It actually doesn't seem that small because its all open space (no walls dividing rooms) and 14' ceilings. Kind of makes it feel big.

Just 2x4's if I understand your question right. There is no plywood on the bottom of the stand. Just 2x4's right on the concrete floor. Do you have shim ideas?

How are you with a skill saw? you could cut shims 1/4" to nothing over the length of the bottem supports. 1 for each support. If you want to wait untill tues. I could do them for you. I work in Richmond.

[new but handy]

sorry you would need 1 across the front aswell

[lastlight]

Those drawer slides worked well for you I see =) How far does each door open? Stand looks killer in white I'd definitely leave it that way. I also think the light hardware should stay silver. Looks great as is!

As for the shimming I'm not too sure...

If you'd copied how I built the REST of my stand you'd see how it shimmed at the top =) Tagging along as I really like how this is coming together.
