Jiskos 55g build

[saltyfilmfolks]

I'd love a 48x18x18 pre drilled through the bottom with overflow that would work perfect but I cant find one

Yet. ;Spiderman

Hahaha. I hate to be an enabler (but I'm good at it), have you done the math on the weight already?

yeah I was looking into this but idk I'm just nit picky i guess haha

In all honesty it comes down to the fact that I refuse to spend $400 for a 55g reef ready a 55g tank is not even close to being worth that much money nor would I ever invest so much into such a small tank

I agree with you I have a 55 I think I payed 110 for it I put an Eshops overflow on it, it is working flawlessly but if I had to do it again I would use LifeReefs overflow

If I was working more this summer I'd just have advanced acrylics build me a 67x18x13 frag tank that fits the entire stand haha

Well a little update.... I ordered a new light, overflow box, and return. Tomorrow I go pick up another 55g long

Prepping for paint

 

[Jisko]

first coat has been applied


Also the stand is finally ready!!
I will be adding doors to the stand after everything is moved over. There will also be a board added to the right side for everything to be hooked onto so the cables run through the back Inside of the stand are 4 outlets so I can manage all the cables through the ceiling of the stand so nothing will be insight.... atleast thats the goal haha

(The trim on the bottom doesnt touch the ground so this way it can be moved a bit without digging into the floor and ruining the stand)

 

[Mark Gray]

Nice

 

[Cameron Wise]

Cool! Love the stand
