I'm back.....well kind of. My history, I have had a fish tank ever since I was 5 years old, my last tanks were a 150 gallon reef, and a full blown 220 reef, that I built a custom maple stand for, it really was a work of art. After the birth of my second girl, in 2006. I decided that the tank was cosuming more of my time and money than I wanted. I sold it all in a package deal.
After being tankless for 3 years, I decidec to do a Discus/planted tank, hopefully with a little less maintenance. I have kept discus sucessfully in the past and the wife likes them.
On to the build, I found a new 95 Gal AGA megaflow tank on Craigslist, with a 200 gal wet dry filter and a Mag 9.5 pump all brand new. The price was right so i bought it.
I did not like the stand the previous owner had made ( major overkill).
So after some research I bought some brich from Lowes and with some 3/4 pine plywood from my work I fabricated this stand in 3 days and stained and polyuretaned it. I am quite happy with the outside, the inside is utilitarian, which is okay for me, still some extra stain to touch up on the inside.
