This will be a slow build

[MadeForThat]

Once you know how to use one, you will always need one around! I've been using my work's lathes and mills for my current build, but I am actually getting a new job soon, so I am going to lose my access ;Sour I've got a little lathe and mill at home, but there is nothing like the manual iron.

Really like the scape and how it looks! Looking forward to seeing more updates on this build for sure!

I may ask my buddy to make by panels like yours can you take a picture of the magnetic areas on the panels and stand when you are free :D

Love the stand, nice build.
Very impressive scape!, can you tell me how you made it?
Super Glue and what?

Nice tank, the over flow is cool. Does not take up any space inside your tank.
One thing I will add, what out for warp on the panels as your magnets will no longer work.

I had to add ............. a few of these to the front panel. Magnets at the top.
This is a test piece.

@Glue Masters ultra thin and Caribsea Sand then reinforced the joints with E-Marco-400 on the bottom side.

Done with plumbing on the back of the tank.

How did you attach the light hanger behind the tank?

The rock work looks terrific, nice job.

Thanks I am not artistic at all. It took me a long time to get it to look good to me. I think i have as much unsed rock as I used.

The light brackets are attached using the studs and nuts that they came with drilled holes in the 3/4 plywood back on the stand.

Nice. I also like your mounting the power bricks to your ceiling board idea, good thinking.

That is a shelf in the storage area behind the tank.
