(Discontinued) IRBNick's 400g Tank Build

[irbnick]

So it starts - I ordered a 400g tank and metal stand last night. After going round and round looking at RedSea's because of all the great intergration I decided that I would build a bigger tank from scratch.

Equipment purchased or at least started to be delivered. I cleaned out lfs and he had to order the rest.

Tank and stand delivered. Problem is, the stand is,too big to make it through my doors, which I know we talked about so trying to figure out the problem now. At least it’s here and it is,awesome.

Ran into my first issue - the stand doesn't fit through the door in the garage or the front door. I have to get the back slider taken out so I could get the stand in … in one piece I don't want to cut the stand down anymore, it's low enough.

Well, no one said this was going to be easy.
