An add-on from the Bay Area!

Hi All,

I am excited to be here! I have been trying to get my Crystal Dynamics 150 setup since 2018. I had water in it once since right before Covid and ended up deciding to move right after it started cycling the first time. I plan on starting a build thread but wanted to check in first and say hello and looking forward to engaging with everyone. I have spent so much time reading and learning and I finally started cycling this week. Feeling a lot of emotions and can't wait to start seeing the evolution.

Welcome to R2R!! ;Happy

I want to complement you on your stand.:) We have similar tastes;)
Thanks! I built this one as one of my first woodworking projects. I decided to build the stand upon purchasing the aquarium. Ended up learning a lot along the way and was trying different techniques (finishing the doors and sand etc..) to learn more. Ill try to add some good photos to the build thread once I get around to that :)

Again, nice work. I like the use of the two different woods also.
 
Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. Like you, I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

I am collecting my old photos now. Hoping to try to start the build thread tomorrow. Thanks for the tips!
