Dustin's 180 gallon peninsula aquarium (input wanted)

[dustinc]

Had a bunch of old metal laying around the farm so I decided to put some to use... Not sure if this stand is built well enough but I basically copied what the store had...


First Cutting all the Angle Iron to be used for the top and bottom




As you can see I had to cut notches out for it to fit together





Getting everything squared and welding it... as you can see I'm not a professional by any means...









Top and bottom done, I made the bottom 5 inches longer to accommodate my sump to stick directly under the external overflow





And Now its ready for Sandblasting and Paint



I am going to paint it later on today so let me know if you have any suggestions so I can change it now rather than after its pretty...
