    then started finishing the stand. the dresser in the first picture is what im using as inspiration...sort of. it wont be as elaborate, but hopefully will look similar when im done. still a work in progress!

    underneith the tank is home to the ato reservoir, ato unit, and an aqualifter. besides that is storage and i can fit just about everything under there.
