Very nice. You will love the in wall look. I know I do.

I am looking forward to the in-wall. I have liked all of the in-wall tanks that I have seen in person.

For some reason I can only see the first pic with my iPhone. :-( I'm moving my office in my home right now and can't wait until my desktop is in place so I can see all ya pics.

Haha.. Right after I posted the pics appeared. Very nice progress! Tanks a monster! ;-)

Thanks Hat!

You are welcome! I believe if I ever build a stand I will copy off you. I want a stand thaat is going to hold. Looking at some of the factory stands, wwow, they don't look like they would hold up. Especially when you have a real large tank, like you have. I know that you don't need to build it too "thick" but I would just for the piece of mind. I like your design! ;-)

I am a little bit of fan of over-kill when I comes to stands. I built something very similar on my 180G. There is a design by someone called Rocket Engineer on RC that I used when I built my 180. I basically followed the same concept. The basic idea is to not have any of the load on the screws/nails. All of the load should be on the wood.

Thanks again for the compliments.
