Well I figure it's time, finally got around to building the stand for my 92 corner (note the fancy birds eye maple accents) Soon to be new home for the sea horsies.
Here is the old 33 AIO

And here is the new 92

Fancy trim work (Hard to believe this stand was built using leftovers from other projects, total cost less than $40.00)

Need to mix up 60 gals new water and then I will do a wholesale changeover. What with all that new space I will head off to Big Al's I hear they have Barracuda and Blue Ring Octopuss, two of my all time fav's.

Wow that is a beautiful tank will you post when you get the blue-ring in? I do love the
fact that you have a lot of room in the tank for scaping .......think I need one like that.
Although I suck at aquascaping keep the pictures coming. Stand is beautiful!

Nice stand. Are you making curved doors? I would love to be able to make a different stand for my 1/4 round. Good luck on lighting, lol they can be a treat

Thanks, I have to wait for the local shop to get his order of hamster balls in so I can keep the blue ring secure, after all it will be an open top tank in my son's bedroom

I couldn't resist buying the tank, after I saw the one Lance has and the way he has it scaped, also gives me an excuse to buy more stuff, after all there is only two sea horses going in right now.

I am thinking curved glass for the doors, depending on cost, for now it will remain open. Lighting for now will be a 36" PC, will probably add a couple T-5s in behind later.

You son will have the most amazing pet on the block......cool! Seahorses would be better
though!

Ya, thinking I may need to get some more, two will get lost in there, think I may have to build a matching canopy now, put that on my list of things I may get around to someday.
