Truely shallow reef tank build
Well now that my 8' tank is gone, time to start on a new tank
I put in an order for a new tank from concept aquatics Going with a very shallow peninsula tank with a large footprint (72x30x12) It will be a reef/frag hybrid system Started building the stand today, might finish it down the road when I'm not so lazy.... 2 coats marine primer 3 coats semigloss black Just need to do all the woodwork (at least the parts that need to get done before the tank goes on...) Front section of the stand will be closed in on the sides with shelving for electronics, and a bit of storage with a door on the front Sides will have 2 doors per side with those fancy soft closing cabinet hinges but I might just get doors made to match the color of my kitchen (I don't like doing edging on doors... Or anything) Back will be open

Receiving a new tank before you go to work makes for a really long work day....
Only 7hrs left until I get to go home and unload it
