Neat setup. Love the sand & rock look (looks like a perfect biotope setup for Tangs).

Hmm, only thing with your setup is the exposed piping & canister filter. But I guess we can't get everything sometimes!

Keep us updated on the setting up! Photos would be great too!

Aiyoh, Got bad news, the stand not strong enuff to hold the weight. LFS gonna replace it but need to tear down the tanks (very sueh).
Since it dun have euff rocks gonna put more in when i set it up the second time when i get the new stand.

But CC gonna kill me cause gonna delay the ventralis collection.

Just found the rack is wooden rack. You need at least the metal rack or a good quality of wooden cabinet to hold the weight.

A 4x2x2ft tank with just water only...the weight is around a ton. If plus the rocks n gravel...wow... better make sure the new rack you got able to hold more than a ton.

I damn paranoid with tank stands man.... espescially wood... need to hold tonnes of weight.. and somemore water splashing my rot wood..

Weight of a filled tank is scary...now the metal stand of my tank stand rusting..

Heehee, tat's why use wood, won't rust. The new stand i'm gonna use cengal wood. Cost more but safety 1st.
