FTS - 06.15.16 Hi All, After lurking…er researching for several months, I’ve finally started my first saltwater aquarium. I’m hoping to do things right the first time so I’ve upgrade certain items to begin with rather than doing it later down the line. I’ve really noticed the helpfulness of this community and I welcome the feedback. I started the tank on Wed., Feb. 11. I added a piece of raw shrimp the next day, reduced the size of it to less than ¼” and dosed the tank with ProDibio START UP.

So I bought a stand and its 1 inch smaller than the tank what should I do. If I go end to end its 24 inch but the top part is routed out it is only 22 5/8 inch. Is each side sticking out half an inch a problem? If I get a 3/4 plywould to put on top how do I secure it? I really don't want to as it would look ugly. Thoughts?
