slow 200 build

[BrAin]

Got a 200 a while back and then other stuff took my funds for the project. Last week I got a Lowes gift card as a reward from work so I spent about $35 on some wood and screws. I've redrawn my plans about 20 times so I was ready to build last night.

Please leave that color be. It's nice.

Stand looks beefy too.

[TexSun]

Yeah, you'd probably be the only one with a stand that color. LoL. Looks great BTW.

[troy tucker]

Nice start. And. Nice shop to work in! How tall is that? As tall as you are, I think the stand should be taller... LOL...

[BrAin]

The plan is to paint it all black. Its going to be 33" tall when its done

Lol...tank stand and canopy might be as tall as me

Most setups should be IMO. But then again, they might too tall given the height of some of the members here

[BrAin]

Im 6'5" so your probably right about it being taller than most.

[troy tucker]

Me at 5'5" has to use a ladder just to clean my own tank. But I like it high easy to look at...
