Modifications

Using my new jigsaw, I trimmed 3/4" off the top of the stand to increase the visibility of the tank. It looks like the frame is sticking over, but the tank will sink into the 1/2" of styrofoam beneath it when filled. You can see the pink styrofoam trimmed around the bulkheads below on the left.

In The Beginning...

The new tank has been received and it is time to cut, sand, stain, and customize just how I want it. Below is the stand and canopy without covers, and the tank from above.
