    My favorite video’s are the one’s without any music. Minimal explanation, assume that if you are cutting timber, pre-drilling, and running a screw gun most people understand those concepts. My favorite parts are the sounds of the equipment, boards hitting the table, and the sound of a nail gun. I also appreciate seeing blunders, and screw ups. This may make the video long but it makes you more relatable . Sorry I had to mute the music.

    Did good job, it a 4 foot stand, you really didn't need the middle supports. You have 8 braces on corners that will hold 4800-6400 lbs. Two middle is another 1200-1600 lbs. After 4 feet then I would start with middle braces. You think a 72 inch stand has middle supports and that's at 36 inches center

    Thanks so much for the video! I will be making my 20 long stand this weekend! I also noticed hopefully a helpful tip! Since the bottom of the shelf is the same L&W as the bottom frame, if you placed the frame on top of the plywood, you could easily trace around the 2x4's to cut it perfectly to fit. I didn't think of that until I saw your video. I'll try that out to see how well it works!

    Reefkpr thanks. I definitely let this tank get away, but at the same time I look at it as I took on a big challenge by starting with a nano tank. Overall I have never had any major issues. Now I have a bigger tank. They say “bigger is better “ so I hope that is the case. I have enjoyed the Nuvo 40 and still don’t know if I’ll keep it. But overall I learned so much that I can hopefully try to use for my new tank.

But I think that’s what makes it fun. Thanks again

    I researched it and I’m not tremendously worried about lab grade probes or not. It comes with a salinity probe but all the reviews on BRS say the probe is garbage and never works/reads right. And it also comes with some kind of module for controlling things. I won’t be taking the apex to the max so the eb8 should be sufficient for my needs. There’s 2 left on the BRS site..
