Custom Nano stand and canopy.

[mr.r8rfan]

I am interested in building a custom Nano stand and canopy, does anybody have any pictures or ideas they can post? I am not that handy (at all) so I'm not sure if I would even want to attempt to do it my self. Any suggestions or advice?

Here's my 2.5 gallon. I used a $25 tank from wal-mart and added an overflow and made the cabnet so the tank is recessed 3/4" in at the bottom of the tank/top of the cabnet. Had a 2.5g tank, added baffles and made a mini fuge. Total cost was about $100 and around 3 days work.

Yes, I used a 1 1/8'' hole saw (1'' bulkhead from Lowes). If you do it, go slow or you could crack the tank. It's acrylic, but it's pretty thin. Let the drill do the work and keep minimal pressure on it.

Look in the DIY section and you can find threads on bulkheads and overflows. Same thing just alot smaller scale.
