Thanks... I know what you mean about retail stands. Most are made cheap and you have pay an arm and a leg to get something that's decent. If I can make a custom stand in a third story apartment using mostly a handsaw and battery operated drill, then anyone can do it. Just make good use of...

I'm seting up the rock work right now so I'll post pictures of that as soon as I'm done...

Hello all, I decided a while back that I should stop typing and get to work... Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures during the work in progress. The good thing is that I finally finished my setup. Here are some pictures:

Here's a link to my 40g build. Nothing living in it yet but you can get an idea of how a 40g looks in a stand and canopy. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/195948/40g-diary-lots-of-pics

Originally Posted by Rappa Where can you buy the Hard Birch Plywood? Looks like nice stuff. Again, you did an awesome job on that stand. One of the best DIY I have seen. I found it at Home Depot. Thanks for the comments

Here's a couple of pictures of a preliminary stacking of 60lbs of hirocks hawaiian base rock that I received. I have another 60lbs in it's box still that has to be cleaned. Of course this isn't the final layout since I also have 30lbs of live rock in my current setup that I will mix with the...

This is how the stand and canopy look as of right now. I'm going to have to wait for the weather to dry up a bit before I stain it.

I really liked the idea of a durso standpipe so I decided to make one on my own. The problem is that the durso standpipe design doesnt fit my overflow box standing straight up so I had to do a bit of modifying. This one has the addition of two 45 degree bends to offset it to the edge of the...

Hello all, When I first started this hobby back in June, I wanted to start w/ an existing aquarium (my 29g) to get a feel for the salty side of fish keeping. Little did I know how addictive this hobby would become. I've met great people and have learned a great deal from everyone. I'm proud to...

WTB 29g, 30g, or maybe a 40g acrylic tank. Will be used as show tank so very minor scratches or fixable scratches or , better yet, no scratches are preferable.

Mine is still Brand New and never been used. Like I said, I never got to use it because it's too big for my tank. My price of $80 or $79.99 still stands. You still have to pay for shipping. I won't charge you tax like the doctor site will. I really don't want to go lower than that price...

Still up for grabs...
