was walking the dog after work and on the sidewalk i see this huge heavy almost new dresser. right away the lightbulb went off in my head and i said whi not use this as the stand for my 40br. did i say this thing was huge and heavy!. ran home and got the little hand cart. came back took the eight drawers off the unit and put it on the hand truck. i thought the hand truck would fall apart but amazingly it did the job. i later came back for the eight drawers of which i will only use the fronts of. it measure 49L X 25W X 39H. i emptied the inside leaving the center wall intact,well not really, since i cut out a hole in which my sump would fit. here are pics of the whole unit w/o the drawers and of the hole i cut running down the center brace.

Look on this page for the "Image Resizer".

Once installed it's very easy to use. Select the picture(s) to resize, Right click, choose, Resize Pictures, select the size, then OK.

man those flatworms are spreading like wildfire and i've been so lazy. this is a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[scarf_ace1981]

picked up another male reidi yesterday. tiny little guy but should have no problem w/ the trio already in there.

 

[chazertis]

is the original male eating again?

 

[bergerd]

Jon, did you get a new camera or fix the old one? Pics are great. I thought you were putting up a 120g, not a 90g?

 

[scarf_ace1981]

i got the battery for my nikon. i wish i could use my canon but it's 35mm(shoots great).

i am setting up a 120g i have a thread up.
