Sorry my pics are crappy. Honest question though... Since I downloaded photobucket to host my pics, are they any bigger or better quality when I post them?
Good question for toomuch john since he's always criticizing my 1/4" pics...
If not, idk what to do about it until I get my computer fixed...

If your tank is full and you need to remove your sump will you feel comfortable removing that center brace? or will you have to empty the tank?

Yes. The stand is built more than adequately strong enough to hold the tank up while filled. Probably doesn't need the center beams but you cant be too safe when you're talking about a possibility of that much water on your living room floor. We will have a 2x4 or 4x4 cut to size to slip in when we remove that beam. I realize this probably doesn't make a lot of sense hearing it but it does make sense in real life, lol...

Well, wood filling & staining this monster has been a real btch. I twisted wrong & pinched a nerve in my lumbar spine. I'm a tough cookie though, so as soon as the hubby gets back from Home Depot with some more sandpaper & a cherry limeaide from sonic to reward my hard work, it's back to sanding for me. Almost done though & ready to start staining! :D
