It's a beautiful stand and tank setup.. I think what turns me off is the fact that if placed against the wall it's viewable from 2 sides and if you place it like a island setup which is what I would do then you got the eye sore of the opening of the back as now a side.. I think if it had doors on both sides that setup would be a perfect island tank.. None the less the stand is beautiful.. I wish I had seen this before I did my setup.. I'm have no panels what's so ever and I'm dreading having to do them now.. I would of definitely bought this off of you and asked if you could help me put some doors on that open back.. Would of saved me a lot of time and would of had a beautiful finish..
Back is not open bud. Fully closed in cherry. Just a small hole for return pipe.
With every setup you gotta figure out what works for you. For me, I wanted to turn more water over, so putting a return next to overflow made no sense.
Omg i stand correct the doors are remove able! Man I assumed that was a open back looking at the doors! Damn this is really a work of of art.. Plumbing, tank and stand... So it's a island tank correct?
