tank build progression

[ericdreadman]

making this thread mostly for my own use to track my build progress and come back to admire the work it took once done. I am new to the hobby so any info or advice is helpful thanks in advance.

this is what I have done so far. im converting this dresser and supporting it to hold the weight of the tank my calculations say it will weigh about 1500 pounds. tank demis are 68x20x24. currently do not have im gonna have it custom made should fit perfectly on the top. originally had to save half the dresser for my wife but I later convinced her to let me gut the entire thing. building my oen sump out of acrylic and cement out of a busted tank I was gonna originally refurbish to use as my dt. should start that build soon will post more pics in time.

If the sump is going under the tank don't forget a way to get it in there.
