Stand update

Rate this Entry
Sry for the poor pic quality. Cell phone pictures are always terrible, but better than nothing. I still have some work to do on the stand, I have to add a center brace to the front and back as well as wrap the stand and finish it. More pics to come.

Here are a couple more shots of wrapping/finishing the stand. The only thing I have left is cutting the doors and placing the 3/4" piece on top. Can't wait!

    Again sorry for the low quality pics. I cut out a door on the right side so I can access the sump/skimmer. I am toying with the idea of making the door plexiglass or something like that so visitors can see the skimmer. Like I said, this is just a thought, it still has to pass the wife test.

    Looks great, what are your plans for doors? Are you going to make them or buy them premade?

    Awesome job! Nice carpentry work. It does look real strong, that's a good thing. Are you going to put doors on what looks like the front, or are there an opening already there that I don't see. Because, more access to the sump is nice.

    Thanks! I am still debating whether to buy pre made doors or build some of my own. @Hat, yes I am making the doors as big as possible for ease of access to the sump/skimmer. I can't wait.

    Do you plan to put a sump underneath, or in the basement?

    I live in fl so I def don't have a basement. That would be awesome though. The sump/fuge, skimmer, reactor, auto top off, and whatever else I can't remember right now will be going under the stand. I will put baffles in a 75g for the sump/fuge. Still trying to decide on a skimmer though.

    How do you plan to see and access that stuff? From the ends?

    Yes. I will access(as best I can) the sump and other equipment from the side and front.
