180g Tank Build - 11 mos. and counting.

DIY 180g Stand build pics

Rate this Entry
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.

    Yes indeed, that wood is different than what most people have. I like it... very unique. Well done!

    That's pretty unique with using the hart wood and sap wood. I made a thick butchers block out of the same stuff. Very tough wood though. It really did a number o work my plainer and jointer. Looks really good.

    I really like to see people build their stands with something other than the normal plywood, etc that you see everywhere
