Rimless 80g build

[kateater]

Here are a few pics of an 80g rimless I picked up a few months back. I've got the aquascape and stand almost finished. Plans for the build are an SPS dominated tank.

I am just a sucker for a rimless. Very nice stand.

Paint, the new stain:), I am a natural wood guy, so I would clear coat it or paint it what every color you like.

Thanks, I made all the trim and everything myself from raw stock. I would be willing to sell stands but there's no real market in my area anymore.

Decided to go with grey stain. I also forgot to mention it's going to be a peninsula style display separating my mater bedroom from master bath. I'm replacing a standard 90g that I had absolutely no luck with.

Beautiful job on the stand! I like the shelf look of your rockscape, too.

I'm confused, though... The shelves... Is that the back, or a side?

That turned out very nice.

The shelf is one side that faces the master bathroom. Good place for TP and reading material. Lol
