  1. 42 Gallon Hex build

    In case some of you are intrested in how I made the outer frames I posted some photos of the devices used. These were made from scrap wood and MDF. I made 2 templates out of MDF. I also made a frame out of wood to help in placing the templates down onto the part that needs the 1/4" pattern cut into it. The top part in the first photo is a section of wood that needs the pattern cut into it. The two parts at the bottom are the actual templates. In the second photo the section has been placed ...

  2. 42 Gallon Hex build

    When I had the back cabinet off I decided to change up a few things including mounting the outlet boxes in the cabinet assembly instead of on the bottom outer frame assembly (first two photos). I also set them at a 15 degree angle to make it a little easier to plug things in and out. I kept tripping the GFI breaker with my fingers when it was mounted on the outer frame. The wires in the second photo going in the hole were placed there just to get them out of the way for the photo. These photos were ...

    The first 2 photos are of the diverter used to channel any water spilled at the back of the tank to the stand. The third photo is of the diverter in place without the trim around the top. this view is from the top of the cabinet. The forth photo is from the top with the trim glued in place. The top outer frame assembly also has trim in place to channel the spilled water into this diverter. The last photo is a view from the stand side of the back cabinet. Please excuse it being sideways. I tried ...

As with the other areas of this project the white painted areas is for the wet area and the black painted areas is for the electronics. The front electronics area is for the sensor modules and the back cabinet is for the power bars and various power supplies. The center divider has inserts to install up to two 4 channel ...

  5. 42 Gallon Hex build

    The second photo is of the parts for top of the back cover for mouting the exhaust fans for the wet area. The fans are shown with the rest of the parts. This will have some modifications on the final assembly, but mostly minor..The first and third photos are of the top frame assebly for the back cover. The corners had to be notched to clear the sides of the back panel on the canopy. The last three photos are of the back cover assembled. As noted earlier the back will not have a panel the top and ...
