Just read your whole thread, great (or GREAT) job
It is getting near completion by the looks of it

I still have to polyurethane the stand but here is a couple of pics.

Looking great bro!

Thanks, I still have to run some electricity to it and put an ac vent to keep the temp in check before I order fish.

I DO NOT want to end up being one of these people that have big fish in small aquariums because of my big tank not being complete.

On a side note using cheap wood does not look good when you stain it but it does hide a lot of MY imperfections that painting would not hide without a lot of filling and sanding.
Besides its in the garage not a center piece in my living room.

The stand looks great! No one's looking at that anyway. What are you going to put in the big tank?

I was going to put sa/ca cichlids but with the 4ft height they would just ocupy the bottom of tank so now I am leaning toward a silver arow and cichla.

I am also trying to decide if and what kind of catfish I want to put in to occupy the bottom of the tank.

Cichla and a tig for a catfish. Aro's are good too. And they are all from the same region

Very nice tank set-up you made. I see many years of viewing pleasure and alot of room for expansion in the future.
