Finally getting back into building things. Spent a little time last weekend doing some figuring and planning. Today got some cutting done on the pieces for the stand.
Here’s some pictures of some of the sketches I’ve done so far for the tank. While doing a couple last weekend saw all my other ones so thought I’d post everything.
I’ve got several of these sketch books that whenever I work on a project I pull one out and start sketching things. While I like seeing stuff in 3D, it always starts and ends with some hand drawn sketching. Call me old school but I like the paper. Something about the process of pencil on paper helps me slow down and think about it and better visualize things.
This was one of my first ideas so that I could fit a 4’ wide tank in the space I was looking at. After talking with a couple companies it became clear that the stand design was going to be expensive and then started looking at a 3’ wide tank and came across the 3’x3’ foot print and really liked the idea of it and how it would fit the space nicely. I really liked the idea of having 3 sides visible on the tank.
The rest of the images are sketches of sump layout ideas, cost comparisons of stand components, stand design, and some layout ideas of aquascaping.
