what a nice looking stand....

Glass is still dirty and I haven’t built the exterior overflow box, but a visual check

This is going to be so super cool. Already looks so balanced and sleek.

Thanks.

Made an adapter (laser cut ply) for magnetic door latches.

You can see I already cracked a latch - oops. Need to mount the other one and dip the small chunk of wood in poly a few times (not in that order)

Panels were cut from 12”x24” 0.22” extruded on my laser cutter.

Stand came out great. Is that an internal overflow box only?

It’s back drilled - there would be no space for plumbing on the bottom with that thin internal box. The external box hosts two 3/4” drains.

I was just sitting at work thinking I wanted to build a nano tank with a stand of my own design and a sump. I clicked the Nano section and stumble upon this work of art. Amazing work!

Project was on pause for a but, but now that its not a million degrees outside more updates coming. Tank isn't even wet yet
