Asmodeus's 8 footer New pictures for Lance

[Skimmerking]

Well Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy I got some progress done on the stand well Cabinets. tried to take some pictures of as myself and Dwayne a good friend of mine as we were working. So I hope these are good enough. So far I bought 6 sheets of 4x8 Birch and end roll to mask the ends of Birch. I'm still having the dilemma of the canopy since the top is going to be huge 8 feet long I'm going to run 1.5" strips all the way down underneath the top of the cabinet to stop it from bowing. the doors will be 2x48 so its alot easier to take off that attach to the Magnets. " SO HOW ABOUT I SHUT UP AND SHOW YOU THE PROGRESS....



here is the wood sitting here. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm WOOD!!!!


Some of the corners sorry forgot to take some build pic's of the tower oooops


and some more



This is the inside of the right tower where i will need to seal with a White Bathroom paint for high humidity. See I'm a thinking ahead already....

ME SMRT SMART


TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
The right Cabinet where all the equipment will be. like the
Sump. Skimmer, Kalk Reactor. you get the drift.

[Skimmerking]

TIME TO HEAT THIS BAD BOY UP.....


SOME FINE TUNING AND A HAPPY HELPER.

This I got to thinking About a shelf for the Deltec 702, Hmmmmmmmmmm

Well watch this.
MEASURE 10 times

A Little bit of this and that...

Dude that is so softcore. There's no real contact happening wth?

Other than that I'm liking what I see. My canopy is just going to be a 2x4 framework above my tank but tied into my joists. Then I'll worry about skinning it. Not sure you can get away with something that crude or not.

Made some progress on the wood, here is a few shots so far/.....

Going with the mission style I like it simple. going to stain with a walnut stain. now is here is problem. I have to wait 2 weeks for the birch wood to come in to make the doors. However Dwayne showed me some maple that i can mix with it so i stained them both and I will get you a pic uploaded so you can see the difference. the maple is a bite lighter, however I can do another coat or 2 on it.


Here is the 15" shelf tower with adjusting shelves I will be cutting out a feeding hole and a Vortech hole so I can move the powerhead around.

Looking down this baby is 12' 3" long and 83" high


looking at the front


here is a size comparsion for ya. I think it's turning out pretty good so far.

I'm hoping to stain the whole stand by this weekend and caulk around the seams in the right tower where the sump and Skimmer is going to be. may be next week to start filling it

[Lance]

Looking good Mike. Can't wait to see it stained.

[kien]

You've got wood and now there's stain everywhere?!?!

[Skimmerking]

Well I was playing with the Rocks to see on what I can get sorted out before getting the stand home here tonight I hope waiting on a Phone call from my Buddy to get it out of his shop. so I was playing with some of the rocks and added some more Wet Stuff Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa WATER.






I added some sand from the other tank and glad to take out the 2 platform pieces of rock. they were full of Red turf so now they are in the Sump ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...

[Skimmerking]

Well I spent the day staining and let me tell you people. never again I hate it i feel so Stoned on fumes great if I was in BC lol.

ok shere is what I have so far the Doors have not be started yet... I put a stopper so far. I bought 3 ICE Pendants from a guy in IOWA on RC for $300 shipped and they are 6 months old so I couldn't pass it up.

Ok SO I remember Snappy did the same thing well If Snappy can do I can do it.

I can't believe that I'm doing this again should have stuck with the 150 Omg


DAM GLUE

Thank god Its up going to run the tiles in a diamond Row so they will push out 33 1/4 " from the tank.

Ok well I can't stop now I need something else to do Hmmmmmmmmmm

ok
Need to run the RO/DI Line to the Sump for my top off. thank god for drop ceilings

nice build in Shelf for the Skimmer and the Kalk Reactor. Im going to seal it so If I get a over flow it will hold it. But come on Its a DELTEC.


This is what it looks like stained TAAAAa DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


How about from this Angle BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[Skimmerking]

ok So I see that you are back for more ......
This is where the Sump is going that to is going to be sealed off from any water after I caulk it .....


Here is the left tower that will hod the ballasts lights and light rail and food and other goodies. fans power center.

I got smart i added a hole for the cords and the Vortech and even a feeding hole and there is one on the other side too.

oh the stain is a Walnut stain looks pretty good too ..


the rec room is a mess until i can get these sealed and then put back in and the floor tiled up.


and this is what it looks like this was when we brought in down stairs to take a look.


Hope you all like them so far.
