Outsatnding[/B] work, you give me incentive...OMG another project. Gotta keep watching the trash...I just picked up a 55g with gravel, plastic plants and NO LEAKS! Some people just don't know value... thank goodness! Waiting to see the clear finish on that stain. I've always done them in natural finishes. Thanks for sharing.hardb0iled said:A bit of an update, didnt get as much done today as I'd hoped but here goes...
My old dog "Wolf" modelling the stand with the new doors sitting in place.
A closer look without the dog
The doors I made are pretty basic, I just made a frame from pine and nailed some of the pine panelling into the centre of it. I'll fit the hinges, latch and handles once everything else is done.
Starting to stain the stand, I'm using a very dark brown(almost like a Japan black) to match my bedroom furniture.
I wanted to get the staining finished today but didnt quite get there. Here are the doors stained and waiting for clear coat.
Here is the tank I'm going to use for the sump and trickle filter. I actually found it on someones front lawn with the trash
..and finally the tank waiting patiently for me to finish the stand
Should have it pretty much finished tomorrow I hope.

Thanks for the comments guys, have been busy lately so havent been able to get on the forum much, I'll be back soon with some piccies of the completed project all up and running
I'm still waiting for them to sort out my lost lighting!? 
Might have to take legal action if nothing happens soon, this is getting beyond a joke now, its been nearly 2 months since I was supposed to have received the light. I have made about 6 phone calls to the freight company and got not one single call back, the sender is now chasing them and has put a claim in for some compensation, we are now waiting to see what happens
I cant really take any pics until I get some decent lighting as there is just not enough light to get a decent picture at the moment
