I thought I would start a new thread just for my kitchen tank since my 120 in the family room is postponed indefinitely (other house projects have priority) I will be able to update this thread more frequently as this build comes along. I'm going to go pickup a 40 breeder at Petco dollar gallon sale today. I already grabbed a 20 long for sump. My goal for the build is just a basic tank for a pair of clowns, maybe 2-3 other fish, and a few easy corals. Would love to try and raise some baby clowns. we will see how that goes... I'm on a tight budget so I am trying to find used equipment on the cheap. I'm still looking for a skimmer and a controller.
We have this work bench table thing in our kitchen that a 20 long fits just perfectly underneath between all the legs. It seems perfect for a stand as it has beefy construction with solid wood. I added a 1/2" plywood back to keep it from racking, some side panels, and I am trying to build some cabinet doors for it. My woodworking skills are limited and my table saw is a relic from the dark ages before OSHA
