I have that tank too, be glad you didn't get a deal on the matching stand it's AWFUL! What are the dimensions of the stand you built, it looks very nice. You're going to have so much fun playing with the aquascape for this tank.

Thanks, Got a good deal, from a great guy I met here on RC. I'm really glad we hooked up everybody loves it and the aquascaping was fun althought it aint finished .

Funny you should ask (My daughter always ask about my friend we went to go get the fish tank from because we ended up in McDounalds and I let her get whatever she wanted and to this day she never forgot and wants to do that again so when you ready to get rid of the 180 let me know ( LOL))

Thanks, the stand is almost finished still havent made the door.

Thanks, It was tricky. I tried to do wood and stain but with aweful cuts and not lining up right I did patch up and paint so now it matches my furniture

That was one mistake that worked out in my favor.

btw I love the tank and the 30' d( front to back)

Nice , Any pic or a thread for your tank ( wise choice )

About a stand being awful (yea, I thought so too but no one here on RC would tell me the truth thanks.. lol :lol::lol::lol

The dimensions are 32l x32w x35h I wanted to keep the cube theme going

Stand cubish
Tank cubish
Canopy cubish

I also wanted the tank to sit on the stand while the canopy rested on the tank with the black trim showing to match the black silicone used in making the tank

As far as the aquascaping it is fun although it is not finished I got a valley, pillars and i want to add a few caves

how thick are the glass on these?

looks like 1/4 inch to 3/8 Very well built . Heavy enough and awkward to carry because of the squareness.

Love the dimensions, a lot of possibities.
