Actually I am falling behind. Just finished putting the stand together and filling the screw holes and joints. I will be sanding it down today and the applying the oil stain to the inside and outside then painting it in a few days. Hope to be finished by the end of the week, but who knows.

Soil is waiting, filter, wood, CO2 and such. Still need to buy lights as I have a 48cm fixture with two 15 watt lights in it left over from an older tank but that will be no where enough light for a 60X40X45cm(high) tank.

Then again I don't have the tank yet either!! haha. I decided to wait on odering it until I had the stand finished as I don't have room to have a tank lying around on a floor especially with two young kids in the house, I am sure it would get broken, or atleast scratched! Once I get the first coat of paint on it I will order the tank. (was told it would take about 10 days as it will be 10cm glass)
