I just finished staining this thing. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. There is a learning curve to this sort of work, and this is probably number 6 or 8 for me. Only the last few were really done for aesthetics tho. My wife mandated that I can no longer just do the cheapest functional thing lol. It needs to look like furniture. If I lived alone, or had a separate building like reeftopia, I would probably just have cinder-blocks stacked on end with a table cloth looking thing over them. haha.
Point is, I have made my mistakes and miscalculations on other projects, so as long as the tank fits on top of this, it is good to go haha
