[_aka_olive_]

I would like to share my DIY stand and canopy that my
Husband made. Finally finished this week! I am i. Love

My tank is four months old. And I think I am done stocking for a little while

Show me your DIY stands and canopies!

It's so important to have your tank setup include a stand and hood for good aesthetics. And this tank looks beautiful! Good job!!

Show me your DIY stands and canopies

This was my first humble attempt. My second stand was nicer but I sold the system and don't have pics.

I’ve done a few DIY stands, the thing with wood is ya gotta do the wipe down thing weekly or its hard to keep salt/salt creep from getting “embedded” … esp underneath the stand….its surprising how the stand can get salt coated just from the air/spray …

May I ask what did you use for your final protective coat ?

What’s a build thread?

Looking good and the reward is you know you did it yourself.

What’s a build thread?

Build thread is where you show off your tank from the start and document what you put in it, diy projects stock list, experiences and so on. Nice to follow for yourself and others how your tank progressed over time.
