100 Nuvo ext stand build

[Steve Elb]

Hi everybody. I'm new to the reefing community. I've had a IM Lagoon 25 for 4 plus months and it's doing well. Decided to expand to a 100 gallon with a 40 gallon sump. I'm starting the stand build. Here's the base. I'm going to start milling some nice mahogany for the outside. I'll keep you all updated

Great job. How much did you pay for the woods?

About 350 total...Doug fir guys and mahogany outside. I buy it rough and joint and plane it myself. Much cheaper

It's an awesome tank. 5/8" glass nice seams. Well put together. When I got it a Red Sea tank came into my lfs at the same time. We compared and the IM was definitely a superior tank. I didn't know they made a 200. Hmmmm! Haha
