Looking good man, any chance we can talk you into building this tank into the wall?
Are you sure you want 250's? I got 4x250 on a 24" deep 300G and cant help it want 400W's.

I put on the second coat of stain tonight and tomorrow I will clear coat it. As for the idea of an in wall. I'm lucky this tank is allowed in the house lol. For the lighting situation I thought about going with 400w but the power consumption is almost double that of the 250w. I will go with the 250w for now and if I feel I need more light I will upgrade to 400w. I will take some pics of the finished stand and canopy tomorrow. Until then stay tuned!
