Mike's 150g SC Aquarium Build

[BfishLpond78]

This is one exciting build, love the patience and attention to detail. Never owning an Apex, you will not understand why you never did!

Thanks Pat, I'm very excited for the controller. It will def give me some extra piece of mind when I need to travel for work.

Stand needs to be skinned...I will need help on that as it needs to look good since it will be in the living room...


Sump is on order...48x20x15

 

[Masedaddy]

What do you want to skin it with? Do you have all the tools you will need? If not I have a ton of tools and a mediocre knowledge of carpentry.

Where did you order the sump from?

Oh and lastly.... Pics or it didn't happen!!!

No one's home Franky, stop knocking on the door.

 

[frankyrivera]

Knocking on the door, I'm inside the tank stand hiding from the dog Mike come back and finish lol

 

[pecan2phat]

Gunner can open doors FYI.

 

[frankyrivera]

I've glued them shut from the inside with a combination of sweet blood boogers and tears.

 

[BfishLpond78]

Haha you guys are hysterical.

Ok, due to the holidays, new job, new house and coaching I've been very busy and didn't have the ability to put much time into the tank. (GF had me at some sort of holiday event or we were hosting one). Had to keep her happy, you boys know what I mean.

But here is an update for now. Sump will be finished next week. It's a 48x20x15. My stand is also at by buddies in home workshop where we will start working on the exterior today.

Next I will be adding a dedicated circuit to the tank.

Frank, Gunnar will snuggle you too death with all 175lbs of Great Dane love.

[BfishLpond78]
