Tony, this is coming along very nice. Great choice on the stain. I like that you finished inside the stand too.

thank you guys. You know once the tank up running, it's so hard to change or modify the stand. Plus, I saw many stands gone bad after short period of time and damage by water. I like to over build it with peace of mind and it's fun doing it. I hope, i'll get the tank soon and will work on plumbing.

I can assure you without a doubt that I would have HATED staining that huge stand, lol. I hate staining so much. I have tried to stain so many things and have never been fully successful. There must be some kind of technique that I am just missing or something, lol. So, to you, I say, AWESOME JOB! It came out great.

The technique is to get someone else to do it while Tony supervise. He's a smart guy I tell ya. Then again good things happen to nice people like him.

1 discus a day is way under pay thank you Trung for your helps.

I moved it in side the house to see how it looks but still need to work on doors and canopy/light hanger (it won't be a full canopy, just half that it can be slided in and out).









received plumbing parts.







Testing the background, paint on styrofoam which will can replace or change anytime. (maybe will let the kids draw whatever they want on it , that's fun)

Looks like green algae to me lol
