Nightster's 29g to 65g rebuild

[nightster]

Well I have a 29g reef and decided I wanted to go bigger. I got the tank and stand from another hfb member and its been sitting in my garage for a few months. Finally got my tax return and its time. First I sanded down the tank trim and repainted it, then I started working on the stand. Here are some pictures of the build so far.

A little work on the stand ran out of 2x4s

Here's the back of the tank after a scraping and paint

Nice skin that stand in birch and paint it black, do like a Ada style diy stand, would look clean, and wouldn't cost to terribly much.

Ok finally got off early enough to get some pics of the frame done and painted.

Well I got home from work today and decided to work on the stand, gave it 5.5hrs and got to a stopping point. Now just sand, trim, and paint. Sorry for the dark picture, bad lighting.
