Hey guys!
Sorry I havent been around much, I was away on a driving trip to Montreal for a couple of weeks, and have been really busy with work since I got back.  Our 125g tank should arive in a couple of days I have been busy building the stand.  A bunch of pics are on my homepage, there is a link to the side "125g Project".  There are pics there of the entire process, if any of you guys want to know how it was done just ask, I'll let you know.  There is a little write up on the bottom of that page of what fish are going in there and how it is being built.  
Take it easy.  Love to know what you all think of it. :)

My father is actually a machinist so his shop built it for me.  I gave them the specks and $150 and they built it.  Not bad considering it took $80 worth of material and 4 hours to weld it all together!  It is perfectly square and level, and grinded smooth.  It is made of 1 1/2" steel angle.  That stand could support a ton of weight!  So you like it?
