Show me Your Fancy STANDS!!!

[maroun.c]

Thanks.
Wasn't that expensive as it cost 600 USD including transport and setting it up on the metallic stand and tank and also dripping the canopy for fans and lights...
while 600 would be a cheap price ( I'm assuming) in the states here it's just a bit on the side of being very expensive...
Still with the wood work it took and the finishing quality I'm not really complaining.
Unfortuntaly I don't think such design will match with the planned furniture of our new house and believe I can't make anyhthing similar for the new tank when we move.

N-I-C-E FLIPPIN' PUMP Set-up!!! I may have to rob to pool's hardware next time. So I'm guessing "flow" isn't a problem in your tank????

 

[sgolden]

only when the power trips...at failsafe its choked to 1/3 flow.....

Oh what the heck, here’s an update from Pages 20&21 of this DIY forum:

Happy Birthday to My Tank! I went “Live” with my tank one year ago on 8/8/08, so here’s the One-year Anniversary shot taken on 8/8/09:

Thanks to everyone who had a hand in helping with this build!

maroun.c ,
Are those doors solid or are they laminate?

 

[maroun.c]

Thanks Ocean Size.

Sorry not very familiar with wood Terminilogy in English. Doors were made from MDF covered with a wood "skin "Layer not sure what to call them.

:lol: Yeah that's what I wanted to know. Laminate is a thin sheet of wood glued onto a substrate like plywood or even MDF.
