Thanks! Im really looking forward to this tank, I still need to leak test it. But I want to stain it then leak test it. One question, would you add a pad under the tank?

Yeah it doesn't hurt to have one, Home Depot has the cheap neoprene pads that u can roll out and cut with scissors, or you could do a foam pad. Also that was a good choice of beer.

Rimmed tanks do not usually require pads. I do not have one under mine

Tank was Pretty Heavy, I had a total of 4 of us lift it on the stand. Then I marked the holes to drill. Went ok no leaks so far. Gonna leak test it all week

Little Update

915MANG · Dec 4, 2016

The 180G is holding water just fine. I wiped it down a little and noticed this tiny thing in the Plastic. What do you guys think? The Glass itself is fine
