Drowzee's new tank.

[Rendos]

Roy...your stand is almost complete. Here is what it looks like. I hope you like it.
Here is the start...

Here it is this morning...

I still need to drill your tank for the closed loop, and help your with the sump baffles, but that won't take long. Let me know what you think.

I didn't know balsa wood could look so good

 

[crpeck]

Is that burl .... what kind of wood? It's beautiful!

 

[joeycadre]

how big is that tank?

 

[Rendos]

The wood is Birch plywood. The stain just really brings out the grain. The tank is a 50 gallon. 30"X18"X21".

[cateyes]

hey Roy, that's looking good!

it's amazing what a little water and some lights will do for a glass box! oh yeah, something pretty to set it on helps also..

How's that light working for you? You probably had to work with those legs a little, at least that's what I had to do.

 

[drowzee]

George ...... wherever do you get your disturbing avatars?

I think I prefer the creepy dog. Do we need to get you some sensitivity training?

 

[Gordonious]

Doesn't that plumbing put a lot of weight on the bulk heads pulling on the glass? Talking about drilling in another thread earlier I got a little worried about my design, but it had much less pluming and weight that what is shown in those pics.

Are you "disturbed" Cathy?

 

[crpeck]

Yeah .... I guess I must be. :spin1: :spin1:

I will be for sure if I look at that avatar too often.

Can't you find a cute little marsupial like those other guys?

i thought about that so i am bracing the piping and the UV behind. it is supported by a 2x2 right now to lighten up the load.
