First pic is of the stand with a primed to , so SW does not sink in, second is my daughter in the stand - if you look I put carpet on the sides and top to act as a noise suppressor, third pic is the front door.

first pic is stand unstained.

2nd pic is the inside , i added a shelf for the Closed loop pump , also if you look at the bottom of the stand i made it water tight using caulk. I have to admit the white caulk worked pretty good. I was able to work the caulk just how I wanted it to get the desired results. When i was done working the caulk I realized some of it got in my mouth YUCK! I had some black caulk but decided white would be better.

3rd pic is the stand stained , with ebony minwax stain.

I put a coat of poly over the stain, but it looks like it will need about 2 more coats

I still don't know how your going to fit that big a@# skimmer under that stand with the sump.

 

[reefkeeper]

By the way it look quite different from when I saw it last week. It's looks good!!

 

[jetchris]

oh it will fit easily, with about a 6" to spare

 

[reefkeeper]

That's what she said LOL!!

 

[jetchris]

I decide to pant the back and tacky wood plastic trim to all black.

hehe good one!

 

[jetchris]

its actually going up before i take down the 90g, im putiting it up by the door. Once its up i can cherry pick all my good stuff out of the 90g

 

[reefkeeper]

Nice piece too view as you come into the house. Make sure the skimmer is far enough away from an outlet or pwr strip. u know what I mean!!

 

[jetchris]

yeah that will be priority #1.

 

[reefkeeper]

Nice! I didn't know you were such a good woodworker. I'm impressed. I love the all black look as well.

That lighting rack though has to go man! You should just get that 250 watt halide pendant I was talking to you about. It would look so much cleaner and elegant. This is the one I'm talking about:

We can work out a trade :).

Chris, nice trim work!

Did you caulk the joints on the bottom to make it water proof? Linoleum is another good/cheap option. Although the boards look painted so hopefully that will keep them dry in case of a spill.

Hey Chris-I just saw CVS has 3-12 packs of CL for $10.00 heck of a deal--I don't drink the crap (CL) but I know you're big on it--just gonna let you know.

thanks Jin and Loren for the compliment on the wood working and Jin once the light rack is done i bet you will change your tune biznitch and thanks again for the dinner it was good seeing you, your wife, ouling and oulings bride.

Loren i did caulk the joints on the bottom board since a leak is inevitable!
