![]() 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?

![]() 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. |

![]() 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.

![]() 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. |

Not sure when I can make it out to Richmond but this is not something I can do myself. Apparently my contractor step father also has an idea though...just that he is always SOOOOOO busy, so getting him to help may take forever ![]() |

They open a total of 48" but the doors also come right off easily. So for day to day stuff, just sliding them open works but if I needed to take them off for any reason, it not hard. I will post some pics tomorrow of how they look open. Our tanks are very similar, so its kind of cool to see what your doing with yours ![]() |

![]() Holy crap Justin, that thing looks amazing! Nice work on the stand. Finish it with high gloss paint, that will make it really "shine"
