Finished the fabrication on the side cabinet that goes next to the tank. This has 2 shelves, one houses the skimmer and CA reactors, the other will house a 22x36x8 frag tank.

There is also a space for storage on the bottom, as well as a place for electrics up top (switch panels, controller, ect)

 

[eddybabyhd]

Primed! Time for paint

 

[eddybabyhd]

Ok so busy day today, and freaking hot. Sunburned and ready for a nap, here it is.

Its finally taking the shape i wanted it to.

I think Ed, that when you make mine (wink..wink) ...you should do a complete pictorial guide to making a retrofit light stand. From measurement all the way through.

If you dont get it right first time, thats OK, cos I need two brackets making

Ed,

Thanks for showing me your tank on Sunday. Since we won't get to enjoy each other's tanks on the Tank Tour, it was great getting to look at yours...

Talking about your really light rack, I agree with Paul. A complete pictorial of construction with T5 retros that you wired would be prodigious! I would even purchase the materials to make that pictorial come to life!!
