well, polys and rays, but i need something for the upper tank. i ordered 100 zebra danios for cycling purposes, i figured they look better than goldfish, and when i put the devil in she cant catch them, i figured theyd look neat for awhile. but im getting the tank this weekend, hopefully tomorrow.

The stand looks a little big for your 220. What is that thing, 40' x 20'?:ROFL::ROFL:

Looks good. Put some Pbass in there. I wish I could get some of those!

lol, i worked off of a drawing i did, didnt even think twice about checking the size, the first assembled picture cam in at 31" tall and about 4 feet wide, lol. when i got it together i was like WTF this things huge, so i took it apart and narrowed it to 28" wide. that would be the last few pics there

Looks good man. I'm gonna be building a stand for my 300 this week probably. I'm using 4x4s for my post though. Keep us updated on the canopy b/c I'm thinking about doing one also...

thanks davey :D, they look like a cakewalk compared to a stand, i was scopin them out at the lfs today and it looks simple, i think im just gonna use really light weight wood as a frame.

A canopy for the 300 will probably be a PITA. The tank is 8' long so I'm gonna have fun. Gives me something to do and at least I can say I built it. Might get me another big red devil to go in the tank also...
