[Thegoodson]

So I have had my 60 gal cube for a little over a year now. I loved it but its was time for a change need more room. Started looking in to used tank...looked at 6 or 7 before my girlfriend said just get what you want buy it new. I met that statement with a hold my beer I'll be right back . Now ill be starting my 2nd build

TANK
48in by 24in by 21

Comes with tideline over flow that I cant seem to fine anything

 

[Thegoodson]

Bright it home and it now the hiding spot for the xmas stuff

 

[Thegoodson]

I do have some questions bout the overflow are the bulkhead suppose to line up in the middle of the external box because they do not it was hard to get them in there and it seems like they see hitting the back wall of the over flow

 

[Thegoodson]

I'm going to be trying to tackle different parts of this build every week and share my good and and ugly


This week is that dang overflow and trying to find a stand

Wood
Steel
Aluminum

Seen some t slotted stuff that look cool but dont know any thing about it still doing research

Steel I hear is good but keep an eye out for rust

Wood well..I can do but i want to chang it up...no diy stuff for my cause its going in our living room so has to look nice I do have a quote on a wool stand
40in tall 28in wide and 48in long with 4 doors for 650

 

[Thegoodson]

Stand is in

 

[Thegoodson]

Stand is 48 by 30 by 40 tall
With a removable center brace and doors on both side

Only issue I have is the stand has 2 Vertical bars that make it 23in in side I needed 23 1/2 in cause i wanted the icecap sump 36xl still trying to figure that one out

 

[Thegoodson]

Also pick some foam I want to try and raise the tank up some can you double stack that stuff

 

[Thegoodson]

Kids a re using it as a club house atm

 

[Thegoodson]

Working on the dry side of my tank not good with diy or wood

 

[MSB123]

Awesome!

 

[Thegoodson]

Just painted and put the front of the dry side on the cut is for a a american dj power strip
The cut out looks kind of crapy I'm thinking I can fram it with something I'm no good a cutting think out with a jig saw

 

[Thegoodson]

It's some what finish the front
I need to figure out a way to cover up my poor jig cutting and to do something with the corner Seem think of adding some blue accents some how
