50 gallon cube Tank Build

[arodmcinco]

After getting out of the hobby for a couple a years due to moving to a new house. Finally got the ok for a new tank! Here we go!

So I started building the stand with 1inch tubing and I wanted to make a bracket to hang the radion Xr30 I had left over. I’m going to be reusing a lot of the old equipment I had. Except for a new return pump and power head.

so the tank Dimensions are 24x24x20 and here is the test fit! Btw it’s the first time welding a stand for my tank and it was spot on.

Thanks man I was thinking how was I going to do an open stand look with a basic sump so that grey pvc sump is going to look crazy! I’m thinking of just have zoas, chalices, and shrooms
