Today is day one of the new build! I'm so excited. I'll be putting a 170 G in my home. This is the third tank I've built, but I took a break from the hobby in 2012. It's great to be back now that my life and wallet are a little more stable.
I'm not done with the plans yet, but here are the initial drawings for the tank, stand, and sump to size. I'm a cabinetmaker so I'll be building my own stand. If you're wondering, the software I am using to draw this up is called Sketchup. I still have a long way to go with the drawing, but I'll post updates as I get them.
So far, my favorite part is the door on the side that will allow me to remove the sump if needed. I'd love your recommendations on features I should add to this stand. Thanks, everyone.
