Rasta Reef

What kind of plants are those in the background?

You should definitely start a build thread and post the link here. I would like to follow along.

Sisterlimonpot, The plant's in the background are Yucca plant's that are around 10 year's old, they absolutely love our climate here in San Diego. I will most definitely post more pictures, when the canopy is completed. It is taking a little longer than expected, due to the fact that My 16 year old Daughter is the Artist and She just started Her senior year of High School last week. Paz.

My DIY stand.

Nothing fancy, but is functional, and matches our furnishings, and will take a tank upgrade when ready.

These are great. Anyone have any pointers for someone who is getting ready to make a stand for a 120G?

 

[submersible]

Measure 3 times, cut once.

 

[alexsd]

My advice will be to use Pine wood just because it will cost alot less

 

[reefermad619]

Or a sheet of plywood and matching iron on veneer.

Is there a DIY thread for hoods?

Someone can give me a PM or ill check back later

thanks

Anybody have any pics of a stand with an industrial style look ?

Has anybody used redwood before? Was thinking of trying this when I set my 150 back up.

Hey guys, there are some amazing stands in this thread! Just wanted to share this one I just finished up for my brother in law. Soon I'll have to work on my own, one of these days.
