Stand Build

[hechambe]

Ok so I was going to buy a stand for my biocube 29 but I decided I could just build a nicer one myself for the same price or cheaper. I should have known that I would get out of controll. So 250 dollars later this is what I have came up with. I used this template from RC for the frame and it turned out better than I imagined I would bet money that you could park a car on this thing and it would hold up <span style="color: #3b5998;">http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1169964">http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1169964</a>. I have a little bit of sanding left to day before I let my dad spray sand it.</span>

Great job! If you could figure out how to get them up there you could park several cars on it.

are you going to try to run some sort of sump under it?

 

[hechambe]

I have been debating putting a sump/fuge under it I really want to put a good skimmer on it so some sort of tank under it would be necessary. Any ideas?

Alright so I went to my dads today to work on the stand and he had been working on it all day. I wasnt planning on doing the inside but he completely finished th inside of it with trim and all. Then I spent a couple hours sanding. Stain should be going on tomarrow. Oh and he put some trim on the door. The total is now up to over $300.
