Re: My first dip into marine Mitras LED 3x2x2 starfire tank
Thanks for the support guys.
So more progress. I went to Clark Rubber yesterday and got a piece of high density foam to place the stand on. Wow that stuff is expensive, it was $118 just for the 4ft by 2.5ft.
Anyway, I placed it on the tiled surface that I'm placing the tank on. This is the best place in the house as it is a cement slab. There is a draw back in that the room is fully made out of glass, but I have no where else that I can put it, so I'll have to deal with that.
I also went to my LFS and bout some polystyrene for between the stand and the tank.
Next up is plumbing.
The only regret that I have is that I wish that I made the stand slightly shorter. Oh well.
So here are some pics.

Hello, this has unfortunately gone nowhere. My wife and I have had one child, another on the way and renovated the house. Not sure if this is going in the new house, or bend to what my wife wants and buy an all in one like a redsea max or something? Do you get anywhere near what you spent back on these things? I presume not?
