Putting together an a smaller tank in my home office. Building my basement bar, so going to sell my 120 soon. I want to build the bar first and not have to build around the larger tank. So, I need to have at least one tank around lol.
I was going to build the stand with all the lumber myself, but after pricing the lumber wow! My wife suggested getting a kitchen cabinet and reinforcing it, genius!
So, got the stand and an overhead cabinet. I added some 3x3 oak pillars to hold the canopy. I'm going to put together a controller panel, like on my other tank. I was going to put heavy duty drawer slides to allow the canopy top to slide up and down. But they kept locking up. I returned a pair to Amazon and then they sent me a replacement set and they did it again. So the canopy will be fixed in placed.
I reinforced the tank enough to support the 40 gallon if I choose to upgrade at some point. The canopy will sit 8 inches above the tank.
- lighting will be, 250w halide and two 160we kessils for supplemental lighting.
- innovative marine 9w UV.
- Aqua Maxx 3 Bullet HOB skimmer.
- on order a HOB fuge.
