So I’m finally starting a thread about a project I have been slowly (painfully slowly) working on for the past 2 years. My wife and I have twin 9 year olds, so they are the priority to our time and budget. The good thing though, its forced me to move slow and methodical. Saving and scrounging for pieces for this build.
It started almost exactly two years ago. Bought a 40 breeder and stand from a buddy who was upgrading. I was still very new to the hobby and was just starting to get my biocube on track. I decided to wait on the 40 for a few years. Partly because of budget and time and partly because I wanted to see if I could first succeed with my biocube.
So....the tank and stand. 40 breeder drilled and custom black walnut stand.
Some nice features on the stand. The shop light and outlets on both the front left and right corners are a great touch. No center bar in the way when the doors are open, and side doors give great access to the sump. The only thing missing is a space for the controllers. So I will be building a side stand for my ATO reservoir and the control panel. I am also building a canopy.
I have 20 pounds or so of Marco dry rock that I aquascaped, soaking in a spare tank since February. I have been ghost feeding and dosing with microbacter 7 since May.
Well that’s it for now. I’ll post again about my plans for lighting, filtration and all that good stuff.
