I spent the whole day painting the stands (all stands, not just the supports)... you know, two coats of anti rust coating, two of regular primer and a three coats of final finish paint!
that's the result:
ok, let them dry. Tomorrow when I come back from work I'll spend some time on woodworking - love it!
Let's roll!!! :bounce3:

Sorry guys, I will speak portuguese with him! It's easier to me! =)
Hey Euler!
Eu também sou de São Paulo e estou bastante entusiasmado com seu projeto! Sou iniciante no hobby, então não tenho muita experiência para poder fazer comentários muito construtivos. Mas sinto desde já que esse aquário promete! Sinto cheiro de sucesso! Hahahaahahahaha
Futuramente irei construir um aquário bem grande aqui em casa também (1,80m x 1,0m x 1,0m) e, como os preços aqui no Brasil são muito elevados, fiquei empolgado com a ideia de ir ao exterior fazer compras, assim como você fez! Imagino que isso me permitirá economizar bastante dinheiro, o que é sempre muito bem vindo. =]
DaÃ, surge minha dúvida:
Como você fez para comprar todos aqueles aparelhos? Não tem aquela historia de limite de U$500,00 para viajantes (valor a partir do qual passa-se a pagar impostos, taxas e todos aqueles outros meios que nos desencorajam a comprar, comprar e comprar cada vez mais)?
Até mais, cara! Vou acompanhar seus avanços aqui!
P.S.: Não sei se você conhece o Reefcorner. Lá, tem um forum de aquarismo em português. Talvez também seja útil pra você trocar informações e experiências com os tupiniquim!

heys, it's time for woodworking... I'm not a pro but I know some tricks!
that's some results:
...another view. plz, don't mind the mess, ok?! And if you're asking yourself about all those computers.. YES :rollface: I'm a computer addicted too... running some FreeBSDs, Asterisk, Tomcat, Apache, MySQL, Oracle 11i, Perl, C, Java and that stuff
Some points:
- that is 3/4" water resistant plywood
- it is not sanded
- not coated with moisture-blocking primer yet.
to be continued!

Hi, Euler! I suggest that you complete your registration, putting our beloved "Brazil" in evidence ... We are not only beautiful beaches and Carnival, we also made marine aquarium projects with great competence and care!
I was kind of "fool" your system with the DI / RO! Certainly few projects, mainly Brazilians, have a water treatment plant with the pattern of their ...
Thanks,

on my knees? never more! :uzi: the main sump will be on this box/trunk there will be doors on front and upper sides
details: I don't know the name of this component in English but its function is to hold the door open and make it lighter ( as light as a feather... kidding!
) when it closes!

that's AMAZING day!!! makes me remember that blues
It was early one 'saturday' mornin',
And I was on my way to 'fish room'.
It was early one 'saturday' mornin',
When I was on my way to 'fish room'.
That was the mornin'
When I broke my mother's rule:
:dance:
I've been in love with you, baby,
Before I learned to call your name.
I've been in love with you, baby,
Before I learned to call your name.
Now you're in love with someone else
I know that's gonna drive me insane!
