I say you have little red LED moodlights behind the frosted glass to skirt the stand. This situation does not call for pheasant balls. The sump should be enclosed in red so that the mood lights highlight the colour and structure of the stand. You might have to check with Brett though cause he's the interior designer. I'm still trying to source out pheasant balls myself. ROFL

That stand looks awesome !!

I think it could hold up your house. I also see you have a steel I beam in main floor support, my folks have the same setup (super solid), guess they don't use steel much anymore in residential.

Cant wait to see the tank!

And I guess we only have me to blame for that. Sad to see a man that desperate that fast!

Not really. We're just so busy right now between work, sports, and school. We've been sourcing out products for properly leveling our floor right around the tank.

A few other things are a high priority within the house right now; sealing everything up for winter, and finishing up our kitchen floor. Our house is older, from the 50s, and it requires upgrades that trump TIBET.

Sounds good to me, keep us updated cause this is one of my favorite build threads

For leveling my 6 foot 165 we used these industrial sized floor shims that are used to level large shelving units. You've probably already thought of that, but they worked very well. We had an unbelievably unlevel floor (our house is around 30 years old) and it was out about a full inch from one side of the tank to the other on the spot we had to place it.
