kathywithbirds I didn't mention but it's going to be a MinWax color called something similar to Jocabean which is a deep dark color with a hint of red to it. Not like Mahogany but a hint of cherry maybe. The reason for that particular stain is it matches our new bed room suite perfectly which is where this tank and stand will be in the new house once it's built (a few years down the road). I can't wait to see it all installed. The cabinet guy is out of town for a long weekend so MAYBE next week I'll get to see the stand more complete.

I just got back from meeting the dilivery truck from Glass Cages and I have to say upon initial inspection the tanks look great. I didn't totally unwrap them but looked for obvious things like cracks and solid seams. Man that tank was MUCH more heavy than I had thought it would be. They said it would come out around 150lbs but it felt VERY heavy when we were carrying it up the steps and across the deck into the house. I can't wait to get it up and running. I just thought I was anxious before.....
