In the process of covering it up with malamine boards.

I over engineer every thing I build. I think the stand under M's cube could take a tactical nuclear strike and survive, lol.

Sump in finally

Now what's a mancave with some sort of entertainment? 46" LED monitor going in! I'll be streaming movies and browsing internet on these babies.

Mine is 1m tall too, love it. Though the tank is a shallow.

Great work on the stand, looks mint!

Looks awesome and I love the man cave!! This is going to be such nice build.

@chimaera I'm happy to hear that as I've gone the same footprint but I'm going 500mm tall instead :)

Here comes the fun part. Bought 40kg of Calgrit today, damn it took awhile to wash it. My back aches, I think I'm getting too old for this :roflmao:

Shallow tanks are so much easier to work with, esp. when it comes to cleaning :)
