dan,

thats the great thing about the tank i plan to put on the stand(its already got the wet/dry built into it in the back of the tank. im interested in getting an eheim canister for it as well so i will have some bioload filtration and i would put that in the shelves below the tank with lines running along the back.



josh,

thats definitely an idea that i might look into especially if i upgrade to metal halides on the tank!!! i just have to get this stand built as soon as i can to be able to see if it all works, that way if anything is wrong i will have time to fix it now rather than have to add it onto the stress of first days of school too :?

thanks all for the great suggestions, steve
