Finally after many months of waiting and preparing.. my new tank build is finally being delivered! @Cody built the stand and cabinet (doors are still coming) and ADG is doing the build, scape and maintenance. It goes so much smoother when you just hire someone to do the work..Cody and ADG do amazing work!

The stand does not look heavy duty. As in Cali. earthquakes. None would survive an earthquake but mine might withstand someone being shoved against it. I was once teased by how many 2 by 4s I used by a dude from Mich. I found a pic from over a year ago with the front cover off. But don't get me wrong. The aquarium above and the stand look very nice.

It's made with two layers of 1x4s that are joined by screws, wood glue, and plywood. The sheer strength on this stand is OP af. I'm confident that an NFL linebacker could hit the stand at full speed and end up with a broken clavicle.

Congrats! I just got my new 150g on its stand yesterday, water starts this weekend. What are you going to use to "start it". Bio-Spira, Micribacter, Dr Tims? Or the old school natural way, some shrimp in a baggie? LOL
