LOL I never did finish my laundry room mural... oh well this is well worth it. I guess I will just have to cover it up with an underwater mural instead now. FIL and hubby were busy busy. Getting excited here picking up our refugium this weekend. It is a work in progress... a slow and torturing process LOL

Question for you guys n' gals... given that we made the stand wider than the tank from looking at the pics should we be good on support of all that weight? The front of the tank is in the wall but the back of the tank is just on the 3/4"plywood and the 2x6 support beams in the middle, not on the edge of the stand. KWIM?

sweet!

for your support ? I think you're good. The top of the stand looks to be 3/4" ply. and with the amount of screws you have in there it's not going anywhere! The tank is sitting on 3 cross beams which will spread the load out nicely.

Fill it up already!
