Thanks to Brandie (goldielocke76), she finally converted me over to the dark side. As a result, I'm going to document the building of my nano tank as I acquire each and every component that contributes to my ultimate build. Of course, I'm sure some things will change as I learn more about the hobby but here's what I picked up from CL to start off.

I plan on using this for my sump-fuge. I've already done the internal measurements on the stand and this 20L easily fits under there. It's just a matter of whether I'm going to temporarily remove the rear support or just remove the top, refinish it, place the sump-fuge tank in place, and put the top back on. The next steps are to continue reading more about the hobby and keep my eyes peeled for the next time Petco does the $1/gallon sale on their tanks so that I can pick up a brand new 20L DT. In the meantime, I'll do some additional research on building the sump-fuge and planning how I'm going to drill out the plumbing holes in the stand and DT.
Here are some additional pictures I took with my DSLR. The stand's definitely weathered and is going to need some work to get it into tip top shape.
