40G Breeder Stand with 20L sump

[ShakeyGizzard]

Made the stand to look like one my wife liked. Plenty strong, made it 36 inches tall so you don't have to strain to see in it. I trimmed the 2x4 to take the rounded edges off for cleaner joints and look . Will be adding a controller board on one side. Built the sump dividers myself, one draw back was I had to redo the dividers for the fuge with dark acrylic to stop light bleed to other sections.

Used basic tongue and grove for the doors, shaker style. Added 1/2 inch plywood to the back for added stability. Filled in the screw holes that were visible the best I could.

Added some trim to base and top. Only issue is one door has to be removed to remove the sump tank if needed. 2 coats of paint/primer to finish it. the final pic is not the location

the tank will be in.

Very nice, trim work makes it really stand out. Like the color choice as well.

Are you going to paint the inside with anything? - I used white appliance paint and it has held up very well for me

yes, looking at exterior house paint. figured it could take the moisture

Thank you, I have a hobby doing woodwork. cabinet doors, coffee tables, end tables, chests, etc. I just used what I learned here.
