My 120 Build

Pablorenzo · 04-16-2008, 01:18 AM

My new 120 tank has been a long process, as i built the stand last year and have not set up the tank as i recently got married and moved to White Plains. Construction took precedence over the tank, as construction comes to a close, the 120 comes to fruition. First pic is of the stand!!!
I am still Working on either making or getting new doors for the stand!!!!

This is a full shot with the tank. I also need to build the canopy which i am working on now! will update thoes pics as i make progress!!
any input where anyone sees i can make improvments now would be the time, as the tank is not completely set-up yet

Kathy, i do not remember the exact type of plywood, as i built the stand a year ago, but i need to go to home depot for more wood for my canopy and hopefully it will jostle my mind and i'll let you know. also how do i submit my pictures for the calandar.

The wood almost looks like mahogany..though I don't think HD sells that!
Maybe Jon will come along and give an idea

Still very nice!

Look here for the calendar thread...

Beautiful stand and craftsmanship. I like the way you used the fluted casing as base molding. Looks like some kind of burlwood. But I can't imagine that you got it at a HD.

Looking forward to following your progress.
