Door edges now

Door edge after trim but before painting.

I knew I bought this iron for a reason.....

Top back on and a frontal view,

I will be trimming the overhang plywood and reinforcing it as well then painting it to make it match the stand.

Sweet progress.

 

[biecacka]

Yea I can't wait to get it painted and finished.
Still tinkering w the skimmer idea. I love the effectiveness of a beckett but the temperamental side of them concerns me. Not sure how frequent they really need adjusted in I put the inlet from the feed pump upwards so most snails and such can't get in it. Somewhat concerned w the noise level too as for now the system will be in my living room.
The mental struggles.....:facepalm:
:lol:

Stand is looking good.
Smart idea to separate the electrics.
How soon before you set the tank on?

 

[biecacka]

Not long I hope. Me and my friend have been busy with our "real jobs" which neither of us build fish tanks so it was a slow weekend for tank work. That's why I busted out some stand work. Oh yeah and it was nice here so I played some golf!

That sir is a work of art. Simply Amazing.

 

[biecacka]

I will grab some more photos. Next up is my skimmer and CA reactor. I've never used one before so I'm looking for insight on a regulator

The Aquarium Plants one is a decent one that you won't need to sell a kidney to afford.

 

[biecacka]

Jack I keep hearing that a lot so it is a front runner. I need a good simple one! I LOVE simplicity.

Corey

 

[sirreal63]

It's as simple as it gets, set the pressure, turn the knob to get the bubble count you want. Enjoy a nice beverage.

 

[biecacka]

Jack, that's my language! :beer:
