  1. DIY 180g Stand build pics

    by , 11-01-2011 at 12:31 AM (180g Tank Build - 11 mos. and counting.)
    My Dad was in town over Xmas last year and helped me out with the finishing touches on the hickory stand I built for my 180g reef. I was pleased with how it turned out - matches the bathroom and kitchen cabinets and lends a little class to the basement while distracting guests from the ugly fish room behind the aquarium.

  3. One more thing off the list!

    Got these today for lighting the fishroom. They're T8 water resistant fixtures with a battery back up. They're also intrinsically safe, and used in places like paint booths, and other areas with high moisture content. I'm excited to see them fired up.
