MarkoD 180 Gallon Build (New Light Fixture)
so finally getting this thing started
couple weeks ago my dad and I built this stand. Wild cherry with black doors. after waiting 3 weeks the tank was finally done and we brought it into the house (4 large men carried it and it was still crazy heavy) also mailman paid me a visit yesterday and brought me a koralia wavemaker 4 and 4 koralia 4 pumps for the past month and a half i've been seeding about 100 pounds of baserock in my 55 gallon tank that had already 60 pounds of liverock up next will be the plumbing.....

180 Gallon Build (Video Added June 4)
Canopy is on.
door is going to be black and will be coming on monday the opening is like this because if i ever want to add metal halides that need to be raised of the water surface, i can take the door off and create another box that sits on top of the canopy and holds the MH lights to avoid lifting the whole heavy canopy everytime i need to do something in the tank.... only the front half comes off. back half and door will stay on the tank. this is how the 2 halves are joined Last edited by MarkoD; 06-05-2011 at 01:27 AM. |

stand looks great man(Im a finishing carpenter by trade)......people suffer a little sticker shock when they hear numbers like that for a stand.....material alone was probably $400- $500 bucks
