30 gal cube frag tank
 

I finally got around to tearing down my old planted tank and decide to try and build a stand/cabinet for it. Its a 32 gallon ADA cube Garden 60x45x45 cm. One on the right..

I built a 2x4 frame, then put pine sheeting to cover it up. Threw on some mouldings and ta daa, a new tank stand. I put the sump on a shelf as i want to connect this system to my main system later and i needed it high enough to drain onto my other sump. It is a bit tight but everything fits.

I went with rubble and smaller live rock as i want pieces to glue frags too..and as much as i love the look of sand im still taking it out of my other tank, slow slow process...

Nice tank.Good job on the stand, looks like you know what your doing.

Sweet stand man

Thanks, still have to get some doors on.. I'm happy with the way it turned out. It's not perfect and I learnt a bunch, but for a first go at cabinet making, I'm happy.

fragged some neon kenya tree that was being covered by a carpet anenome and dying slowly, just cut all the branches off and dropped them on to the loose live rock and wait for them to attach.
