Re: MikMcgyver's 125 Build

that's a really nice stand. much better looking than the cheap made particle board stands that they sell for a arm and a leg.
i love build threads too. keep the pic's coming for every little step made. and i'll be here panting and waiting to see them.

Nice looking stuff! Let us know what you think of those Rio HF's. I used to have a 17, but got rid of it and used an Eheim instead because I found the Rio way too noisy.
