Thanks Greg I will go and find some scrap metal now

use composite shims-about $4 at rona or home depot.they won't compress or rot or rust

I don't have any metal scraps so off to home depot or rona tomorrow to find either some metal or check out the composite shims or any other product that could handle the 2400lbs weight

the stand is ready for placing the tank and start filling (tomorrow's job) in the mean time the 180,the 60 and the 40glns are running with only 180glns has few corals.Here are some quick snaps,oh and I haven't painted the back of the 180 yet

During the wait and all the construction I think I am having a problem of what to stock the tanks and how.like some of the photos shows I will have the 240 slightly over laps the 180 on the over flow side.
Well here are a few ideas if the stock.
So I am thinking a high rock slide for both tanks going down towards white sand.
I think a floor full of zoas and polyps of all different colors and shapes.
Then on the rocks a couple Blue orange stags and few acans...
Now I am lost for stocking the 240 glns ideas ideas ideas....

I think ricordea and zoas of all colors will soon be on the way for stocking my tanks and few pieces for those of you interested parties....

While waiting for another couple days till the 240glns is filled,I am trying to maximize the space into the sump,so here is a question.
Sump size is 100 glns that on the top has glass bracing in the middle that measures 19" by 20" that pretty much covers 1/3 of the 100 glns,how possible is it to remove that and would I run into problems later on?

Did you put any baffles in to the sump Eli?
