Thanks!

I planned to make the coffee table into a saltwater but it became too much of a hassle and left it as fresh

The worst part is I had to switch from my expensive gun hobby to an expensive fish hobby lol

How does that always work out? From one expensive thing to do, to another

I love the crispness of a white stand. I'm thinking of going that way with my next tank.

I'm actually sanding it down and gonna restrain it
Wife wasn't too happy with the new tank so I gotta make it to her liking for me to keep it [emoji14]

Under progress

Yeah, I have to drive an hour and half to find BLM land in El Centro which the heat alone will make you regret it, but it's better than being on a range and paying fee's and such
