Hi,
This is a few pics of what I've been working on the last 2 or 3 months. Don't have much time on the weekends to work on my aquarium but I think this is a hobby where the slower you go the better off you are. Anyways, here are a few pics of the build. The stand is overbuilt so if I get the itch to upgrade again, I can go up to a 100gallons. It's built out of 4x4, 2x4, and 3/4 plywood. Its caulked on the inside for leak protection. Mostly happy with it except for the doors which are a little crooked. Will have to revisit that. Going to use a 15 gallon sump, protein skimmer, refugium, and lighting will be from a 250 watt Aquamedic pendant. Would really like to make custom hanging kit for it but don't have the tools to bend metal. Anyone out there who can help me with that?
I know 40 gallon isn't that big, but my current tank is the fluval edge tank below so its a big upgrade for my fish :knockedou
