[D.J.]

stick frame pics is all i have for now.......but i will get the rest up today....







the plywood top is gona now and has been cut to fit in the bottom....i still have to skin the top and find some foam....all the gaps you see in the floor are no longer there, i cut everything to fit tight and then once the walls where up it was siliconed up




i will post more pics of it today.....the stand is now 95% done.....i have to stain my access door still but the main stand has been sealed,primed,painted and stained.....more to come later....
also have a pic or two of the OCTOPUS large sump tank.....

Looks Good, keep the pics coming! The only sugestion I have is: if you are going to put sump in the stand I would do two support beam rather then one. Just a thought!

I am talking about under the sump/ going the width. The one brace is nice but with time the plywood will bend and all depending how far, I would hate to see you crack your sump.

Otherwise, it looks realy good!
