My Build

Hello Everyone,

I decided a few months ago to take the "plunge" and start my first salt water aquarium. I started researching roughly two years ago and set a budget for myself on what I wanted to spend vs. what it was going to actually cost. Originally I was looking at the all in one units, specifically the BioCube 32 and figured it would satisfy my needs. However after purchasing several books and surfing the web on this hobby, it was recommended that "Bigger is always better." Slowly I started looking at large tank sizes; 50, 60, 75, 80, 90 and eventually ended up with the tank you see here. I know everyone wants pictures so I will stop rambling on here. Picture Time!!

Found a used stand on Craigslist for super cheap, technically it never even been used. The person built it and was forced to move out of the State for work

Welcome to the forum! The stand looks great!

The problem I faced with this new stand was the depth of the cabinet. The previous owner built it for a shallower tank, the length and height were perfect for my set up. So I needed to modify it a little....
