Well i received the stand , it was powder-coated in pearl white .
looks good , now this is where the fun begins. :pirate:

I found some neat stainless steel multi-adjustable pedestal feet ,with a pivoting base plate and anti slip vibration pad . they are rated at 800kg each.
I have 6 on the stand , its not going anywhere. :crossfingers:

I sealed the stand with white poly urethane, it covers lots of sins. :devil:

next was to line the top and bottom with 17mm form ply from bunnings .
I used this instead of marine ply for 3 reasons .
1 - it was less than half the cost .
2- it has a smooth black coating that makes it impermeable to moisture , all I had to do was seal the ends
3- I didn't need the structural strength of marine ply . form ply is just as good .

Coming along nicely. The form ply is good stuff alright.

I'm lining top of the form ply with rubber tile from Bunnings .
I have used this product before with good results.
It has good things going for it , provides a great base for the tank and flexible to accomodate any irregularities
In the tank and or ply base.
Colour is cool as well .

The base got covered with 3mm white gloss acrylic , I want that clean look to high light the equipment .
it will also assist to wipe up any spills and dust that shows up.
the set up lives in my garage /fish room so its always going to get dusty. :wall:

I may need to get the Mrs. in there once a week with the dyson and give it a once over :devil:

just as well she doesn't read these posts :pirate:
