I got excited for a minute when I saw your thread title.

I thought someone was making a unique "dinner table" reef IN a table. lol.

Should be "dining room" tank perhaps. lol.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Are you planning to build a canopy? I see you are blocking the lights. My wife made me build a surround for the light and it made a huge difference. And it looks good to boot!

Hmmm now thats a great idea! Sounds costly though, lol.

And yes I'm def building a canopy and new skirting on the tank. Once I figure out if I'm going led or staying with this light I'll start on the canopy.

I just love the water change plumbing into the laundry tub. So insanely short and simple that's the way to roll! Nice work so far.

Well picked up about 30 free 2x4's today, along with the rest of the maple sheet i had in the basement (same stuff used on my stand), decided to whip up a quick canopy. I will be designing a new stand/canopy but not till next year when i find some time to cut/build/stain/lacquer something at work...

First off the boss and foreman were making sure eevrything went smoothly


Zipped a couple 2x4's in half and mounted my moonlights onto the wood (Warden was watching my every move on this one)


And the final product. My Styrofoam finally gone and still easy access to the whole tank.




Edit: Ill be touching up all the cutlines with a matching stain pen i have
