I had the da off yesterday, so I worked on the stand. I did the second and third coats of stain. Also made the doors, which came out alright, but I screwed up the trim for the doors. I guess I have to go to HD again lol
Here's a pic of the stand without the doors

Thanx Rob
I did a fourth coat on just the middle to even the whole stand out. I also finished the doors. I'm going to hang them after they dry

Lol I'm trying to do things right. I finally got the stand in the house I also leak tested the overflow and it freaking leaked :banghead: So I patched that. The sump I got from Jerl had baffles that were 14" tall I had to break 2 of them out and was able to cut the third out. I left the middle baffle of the bubble trap because the height of that doesn't matter. I cut new pieces of glass @ 9" and placed them in today. I'm getting there lol Here's a pic of the sump

The stand is yours, with some mods done to it. The tank is another 125 that was drilled in the back. I gave that tank and stand to Jack (c. grisum). I basically traded your 120 for cash so I could get my ro/di unit
