Custom tank build

[sweet2004r1]

Bottoms up LOL!! Started painting the stand. In the pic the stand is upside down so I can get the bottom painted first and then Ill flip it right side up to finish the rest. Painting the entire frame with drylok and will stain the skin with a cherry wood stain!!

Got the bottom set in place and water sealed it to make a "trough" type deal for the sump.

GOt the entire frame all painted in the drylok and now setting the top and will start to skirt

The more shelves the better. You are making good progress.

Building the door to hide the shelving unit. I will be using a jamb switch on this door so LED lights turn on when the door is opened!
