Stand is primed. Going to let it sit a couple days due to being out of town. Ill paint in when I get back and all my parts will get here at the same time as well.

2x4 Stand built to spec based on the Template Calculator Thread.

Tank now has an Apex Lite, AFS, and Bangai Cardinal Fish.

Now just a few more things and it will be gorgeous.

The come up for sale online. My LFS had them though. I trust my lfs. The gentleman running takes care of me. He doesn't have a Garuntee.... But I have had a fish die once put into my tank and he hooked me up.
