Almost Finished

[John]

I finally this morning got around to finishing up my 90G stand. With work and all this project has by far taken longer than expected, a whopping 3 weeks. But anyway I just finished putting a last coat on it and what not. As for the hole in the middle. I ordered 2 smoked glass doors which should be done by the end of the week. Just wanted to know what you guys thought of it. Next is the canopy heh

looks good, the doors will be a nice touch.

is that finish paint or a dark stain ?

 

[John]

I decided to go with a finish paint, Gloss black. The only reason I did not stain it was that everything in my living room is either black or kahki so I used a peice of oak to wrap it just so if I did want to stain in it would look decent but halfway into the project i decided on the black and took it from there. I know the pics are lousy but they came off my phone so take it for what its worth.

Looks nice so far John. Where did you order the smoked glass doors?

 

[John]

I ordered it from a glass shop locally. My father knows the owner and the guy has done good by me with cutting me glass shelves for my living room and such, so not only will the doors only cost me $20 the total for the stand was well under $100 a great deal i think.

Kris the sump you know the story about heh that was also a steal for $25. This 90G has not cost me much yet i hope to keep it that way
