After having moved from CA to ID I took near half a decade off from hosting a Reef tank. I also haven't worked with wood for near two decades. Some basic hand tools, lumber, pallets, hardware ordered from Amazon, and a couple of weeks later the top of the tank awaits the stain to dry and a polyurethane coat. At the moment the 66 rimless tanks sits on the floor cycling. Three weeks into cycling having used dead sand, live sand, dead rock, and purple as well as pink algae strains. I'll need to drain the tank either tonight or tomorrow, bring the stand in from the garage, lift the stand into place then refill.
Here's my DIY stand project using old pallets to skin the 4x4 and 2x4 framework. Yes I should have used a throw cloth for the floors. I plan to clean the over splatter tonight. The front doors are sliding barn style:
Lights are temporary and will remain as spares on the parts shelf. I also plan to add a sump and unclutter the rimless tank's clean appeal.
