Well after what seems like forever, I have finally set the tank! The tank is actually quite heavy so it took some time to slide it into place and ensure it was relativley centered in the stand.

It has definitely been a little while since I last made a post and progress towards completing this system. With that being said, I do want to update everyone on where I am at.
