my tank build

[Gary M]

90gal build

---

starting with the diy stand,


this is the frame i made today, its made out of 3/4" x 3+1/2" finish pine when the skins are attached the total thickness will be 1+1/4" thick










these are the skins that i will be putting on the frame, they are 1/2" pine vaneer plywood, they will have a custom match stain to match the wood work in our house






took a piece of 1/4" corian and lined the bottom of the stand, its now water proof any leaks down below will stay in the stand
