Well, I'm finally getting some progress!!!!!.... I finally decided to build a new stand while I am waiting to see if I will move residences or not. My girlfriend wanted something that was more comfortable to look at while standing. The old tank made you bend over to view just about anything. (not that there was anything in there yet) The stand will be 39" tall by 4' wide by 18 1/2" deep.That puts the top of the tank at 60" and the top of the hood at 73" :0. I have decided to do satin finish black on the exterior and high gloss white interior. It will be built with 2x4 main support, all weight bearing surfaces will be 3/4" plywood (double for the actual tank deck) and the exterior will be 1/2" cabinet grade plywood. I just bought everything today to the tune of $150.00 (gotta love employee discounts) I hope to start in the morning and be done with just about everything but painting by dinner. (there will be a little water skiing during that time too) I am considering replacing the tank due to the fact that it is a second hand tank with a few chips out of one back corner, but we will see if I can afford it. Anyways, I'll have pictures up tomorrow!
