Looks good Bobby , what are the dimensions of the tank ?

P.S you might want to give them plants some water

Reefdaddy · Geek Squad Jedi

Spider plant is booming bro. I water it daily. LOL its a 55 gallon, 48x13x20

Looking good Bob.

Do you have plans on enclosing the stand after you get everything added?

Reefdaddy · Geek Squad Jedi

yep gonna skin it. Just after a bit.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

What type of finish wood are you going to use?

Reefdaddy · Geek Squad Jedi

Mostly paint it gloss black. We are still really up in the sir on that, Our couch is white so a drastic contrast would be black. We have no Wood in the living room at all except for 2 shelves that will be ousted when I build the side cabinets for the tank.
