I'm in the DIY Game!

[lawman]

My first SW tank was a nano I got a couple of months ago. Now look at me! Fully addicted. Built from scratch in my own home. (den to be exact)

55 gal stand. All wood is oak except for the 2X4's. What do ya think? I will be building the hood when I figure out lighting. Hopefully DIY also.

Looks great. How much time and money did you put into it?

 

[lawman]

Time is hard to guage because I built it in my den. Lot of TV watching going on during the build. But I would say no more that 12 hours in labor.
As far as money, about $225.00. That's including $99.00 for the AGA 55 gal tank.
Thanks for the compliments so far. Anyone have information on DIY refugium? A link or basic plans? 10 gal.

I'm building a stand to bring a ten gal level with the DT as a refugium. I have a lot of power interuptions where I live and dont think I should venture into the whole siphon thing. (Flooding) Main question is should I run the fuge this early? Just put LS and LR in last night.

Your probably going to set up a reef tank, right? Have you figured out the lighting yet?

 

[lawman]

Added LR, LS, Coral life 220 skimmer. HOB O/F box that runs to a 28 gal rubbermaid fuge. Cycle is complete. Nothing to brag about but I'm getting there
