Had some plans to upgrade my nano setup. . . to a slightly bigger nano setup, however, I decided to scrap that build and just go bigger.
going to do a 20 gallon display plus 10 gallon sump. Will be using standard rimmed aquariums for the build, hope to make a DIY corner overflow thing (though might buy a pre-made one. . . ).
sump will probably be pretty simple design, probably only 3 chambers.
here’s the stand I build. It isn’t what I would call conventional, but should be more than strong enough. The display will be directly supported in the corners by the upright 2X4s. The sump is supported by “heavy duty” pocket hole screws/joints plus a timberlok screw (lag screw) plus titebond 3 wood glue. . . Should be more than strong enough to hold 100lbs.
Question: what spray primer and spray paint do you guys and gals recommend for stands???
