Stand. Built.
I picked up everything but the tank last week and unfortunately I had to go to Bali for a week only hours after... I know right..
Haha I swear my life is not normally like this.
I got home and last night managed to get the stand built and ready.
First of all when I ordered the tank I had the option of the normal Elos stand or the Absolute stand.
I though about the pros and cons for a long time, went back and forth and finally decided on the absolute stand despite the cost.
I'm so glad I did because as I assembled it last night I couldn't believe my excitement over an aquarium stand!
I didn't have much info to go off as to what it would be like but it exceeded my expectations every step of the way.
I'll let the pictures do the talking but basically the stand consists of a stainless steel structure in gloss black. The rear panel, front panels and doors attach via brackets and stainless screws. The side panels which unexpectedly are hand polished and varnished blew my mind away when I unpacked them they are that nice. These attach view magnets on the panels and as the stand is stainless they've used a magnet screwed to the stand.
The nice touch I like is that the side and back panels fit in between the stainless structure and leave an exposed edge of the stainless gloss black viewable.
I've always thought how cool an exposed stand would look and this kind of meets it half way.
If you've read all this you've probably gathered how happy I am with it :D
Haha anyway... PICS!
