Call me if you need some help! I also have your flake food to drop off, so I need to get down there soon anyway. ;)
 
Thanks everyone! We are hoping to have it up and running this week. The aquascaping is going to take sometime.
A little challenging with the overflow off centered in the middle.
 
The stand looks great. Did you make the beadboard or buy panels somewhere? Ive been planning on doing something similar for my stand. Lowes and HD have panels but they are made of fiberboard and I wasn't sure how it would hold up around water. For my canopy I used a router to make the groves but it was a bit of a pain.
 
We used knotty pine tongue and groove. The pieces were 36 inches long. We used the knotty pine packaged top and matching bottom trim. We invested a little over 100.00 which also made the canopy. We are very happy with the way it turned out. The stand is a beast. We did buy a compressor which included 3 nailers which made the build easier.
 
Tank looks great guys. Perfect placement. I was looking back at the stand build and had a question. Did you follow the common template on RC for the framing? 2x4's or larger? Thanks in advance.
