Another 26 Bowfront

[UnderWorldAquatics]

I thought I would post pics of the stand and canopy I made for a 26 bowfront. Dont laugh at the tank, the level is low and it is being used as a feeder fish tank to keep my stone fish satisfied... It will soon be a very well stocked reef :biggrin:

I was looking at your other pics and wondered what the mod on the prizm is all about.

That's an awesome bow, I think that I'd like to work on a canopy and stand like that, it'll just take some time

I wish you the best... lol. you would think that with a mild bow it would be easy to curve some 1/8" maple for the front, ha, ha, yeah right.... had to turn the bathroom into a shower/sweat box to curve all the pieces....30 band clamps later... but i like the final product, so it was worth it

30?? wow, okay maybe I'm over my head

If you used a couple of layers of 1/16" sheet, then put on a wood veneer, it would be alot easier and look the same

that's pretty much what I was thinking, or use the 1/8th and just run it over the table saw and cut some ridges in the back side to weaken it a bit.

yeah that could work too, cant wait till its running, 250W 20K DE halide, full of rock and coral.

Stand and canopy look amazing!!

Seriously, that is one nice piece of work - very professional looking.

I could never make a product like that :)

thank you
if it was for a customer i would have used nicer trim, but I was making it for personal use on a budget, its not too bad with the black trim, I wanted stained wood trim though...
