Few updates today, got the tank on the stand, finished somewhat the plumbing for about 85.63%, put rock work in and sand.
I think I'm tired now and will go to bed.

Update 11/06/2012.

Ok, little election update,
Stand...........Natural stone with glass tile, check.
Ledge around tank on stand.........granite, check.
Behind the tank........... free standing back splash same natural stone with glass tile, 80/20 extrusion's coming out from there for the radions, check
Access to the tank, front and sides...........hardwood doors with dark stain glass inside, check.

For now, working on some more plumbing.
Oh, the green bottle is for checking if no leaks.http://www.marsh-reef.org/images/smilies/Web%20Finds/lol.gif

Well......... it is a or was a granite counter top from a outdoor kitchen that we had to demolish cause the contractor screwed up.
We build a whole new outdoor kitchen, 55G.

This granite was sitting in my shop and I told my guys to make a counter out of it for my 202 Diesel tank.
