So far I have ordered a few things for the 300 gallon tank I am getting but today was the first day of work. I gave my dad a call this morning and asked if he wanted to come and give me a hand building the stand. We made a trip to Lowe's where I spent $160 for wood, nails, and foam.
We managed to get everything done exept for the doors, trim, and paint. I also still need to put the sides on the tank, I'm going to wait until I finish the sump before I put those on so I can slide the sump in. All considering I would say it was a pretty productive day considering it was around 37 degrees and I can barely walk due to knee surgery. I am paying for it now though, my knee is swollen pretty bad.
Anyway, here are some progress pictures. It is amazing how much this stand weighs!
