My tank will be here Wednesday night!!!

DSP · Feb 11, 2014

I started working on my water mixing station today and picked up a water barrel that didn't have a removable lid, So I cut a hole in the barrel then cut the rim section off a 5 gallon bucket and pushed the bucket into the barrel and the rim of the bucket stops it from falling in, Now I just put a lid on the bucket!! Genius right? Got this idea from a buddy Haha
Pics are backwards lol

That's a great idea! Plus with a bigger hole it's easier to clean!

Exactly! That's the main reason I did it because the barrel had a weird smell so I really needed to clean it lol

wow that is an awesome setup and the dimensions on that tank are perfect! I really love that the sump has a 7" sock, clean design! Is that a factory made stand?
