A purchased cabinet redone

I bought this kitchen island, but it was no way ready for fish. I took it apart in sections and welded a heavy aluminum frame, than rebuilt the cabinet to the frame. There is no problem with weight anymore. I took out the drawers and used the faces to make a lifting face and the two doors. I used Durorock for the inner floor. It has really worked well.:celeb2:

I've seen that tank here on RC before. Too rich for my blood but if I had the coin and could do the drive I'd be all over it. Definitely a gorgeous stand. Good luck with the sale.

May not be to the level that some of these are, but I think it turned out well... 9" shelf all the way round the tank, which stands out away from the wall. Had my daughter do the mosaic tile work... she did a fine job, IMHO.

Do you have any foam or padding under the aquarium?

I love the mosaic that your daughter did. It definitely adds a great touch and I imagine it will draw your daughter even deeper into the hobby and science behind it.

Thanks. I think she did a fine job. As to drawing her in... College student, turns 21 next month. At this point in her life, getting her attention for more than 30 seconds is nearly impossible. She wants to paint fishy scenes in the door panels... I'm tempted to let her.

No foam, tank is setting on flat, smooth sanded 3/4" plywood, with 2x 3.5" holes for the plumbing. Oceanic says no padding... it's their tank, so that's what I did. Tiled surround has 3/8" wood strip between the tank and the tile, to keep the grout clear of the tank itself. Tank could still be removed... unlikely, but possible.

There's more details on how my stand was built on the build thread below... 3/4" sides, dado joined, glued, and clamped to 3" solid corners, all flat on the floor, and flat to the 3/4" top. A single laminated beam, made up of 3 layers of 3/4" ply, reinforces the center of the top, resting on supports that go to the floor. It is SOLID.

My 48x24x24 120g sps tank built the stand with 2x4 and 2x6 skined in oak and painted with high gloss exterior white paint. Back left corner has a removable panel for plumbing to my remote sump and fish room.

that would have been a great candidate for a bare bottom tank and an open stand.

Lol, my OCD also kicked in when I saw that. Concept is great though!

Here's the start of my newest, soon to be, fancy stand.

Yes, I wish I could have found a mirrored version of the mermaid as well.
