Well the time has come for me to build something I can call my own. I am planning to expand from my bio-cube into a 40b. this time around, I wanted to be more prepared with my build and have everything together before I actually start to fill the tank. I have had a couple different tanks and learned SO much from this site. I have had my ups and downs and am truly amazed at how the people on this site come together and help each other out. the generosity of the people I have come in contact with is unmatched. so with all the long winded stuff said here we go.

Nice build can't wait to see it done. I give it 6 months after u finish you'll be back into a 75g+ lol
 
I am getting my drill today so I hope to assemble the stand tomorrow. also going to drill and paint the tank this coming week
 
got to spend some quality time in the garage, so I build the frame to my stand. now I just need to get the pieces to wrap and trim it. and to my surprise, the frame is perfectly level. woo hoo small win

about half way through
