Not really. The stand has been built and sitting in the garage for three months waiting on the temp to raise so it could be stained.

LOL... I'm staining my nano stand in the basement right now. It's WAY too cold outside (10 deg. last time I checked). I'll probably be sleeping on the couch tonight though as my wife is NOT happy with the smell
AZ - The stand looks great in your house! Seems odd calling it a "stand" when it looks much more like a high end cabinet!
Is your husband working on the doors, or are you giving him some time off for good behavior?

OK, tank finally made it into the house. We are doing the test run now with tap water and found a leak in the return pump hose, but hubby is fixing it. Also the waterfall is VERY loud, so he's getting parts to make a standpipe for it. But, the drain and return seem to be of equal pressure as the sump stays at the same level. At least I think that's what it tells me. So here you go, one more picture. I will be ordering the lr and ls on Monday or Tuesday.

Things are looking good!
:cheer:
Here are some more pics. I think my hubby has done a great job putting this tank together, especially since it was his first time. He's now saying, "OK, my work is done." Now it's up to me to get this puppy started.
I may have added the fish to soon, but I just couldn't resist! :hilarious
Also, my QT tank is almost done with it's cycle, so I may be getting our first fish in just a week or so.

Photoshopped? No, nothing is photoshopped. Are you talking about the fish. LOL! Well, they are taped on. I printed out the fish I want to give my daughters (8 and 4 years old) something to look at, since it's going to be a while until we have fish. And yes, The back of the tank is painted black. When I get lights you'll actually be able to see it.
