The back wall started with the 3 baffles for the bubble trap, then a piece of glass that was 2" shorter them the depth of the tank. I then cut a piece of black acrylic, cut the OF teeth & drilled the hole for the return. Ran a little silicone on the edges of the back glass pane, set the acrylic in place & ran a bead of silicone around the edges.

I had this old portable dishwasher that my father in law used as a portable work bunch, took the top off & sanded it down.



Then I took the legs off a really old table that my wife had me move all over the house for the last decade until she finally said to get rid of it once & for all. Put them on the freshly sanded top to make a decent table for my tank to sit on.



And now with the tank on it.
