I created a little DIY project for myself. Since my frag tank will be arriving soon, I would like to make a stand for it. Need some ideas!! Post a pic of your stand!! :rollface: I will create a build thread once I get going.

LPS Frag Tank 50 gallon rubbermaid. This is where I've been holding the frags going into the new display connected to the same system as my 120 display

SPS frag tank with 175 Phoenix 14K. connected to 120 display system. Old 20 gallon long drilled low to keep the water level low

I was trying to get a lot of flow in the shallow water and was having issues, so I put together some PVC and ran the output of a maxijet 1200 into it. same creation on both sides.

Thanks for sharing Pascal, I am getting an idea on how to build the frame of the stand!

This is our 20L frag tank with room for a hospital tank underneath. Lighting is a 4 bulb 24in HO T5.....grows everything really well, even SPS.

Close up of the tank. Really looking forward to moving and hopefully being able to upgrade the frag tank to the 40L that's our DT right now :spin3:

sweet set up Karen! Was the stand stained or spray painted?

Thanks!!! The stand and canopy are actually painted with a brush using a water resistant paint....once we move, it'll be repainted because it's a bit scratched from regular use (and the cats)

The next stand we build will definitely be painted with water resistant paint and then finished with a sealant to really protect it from the salt (at least my bf's stands will) :spin1:

I want my stands stained a nice color to match the rest of the furniture
