The first photo below shows the post attached to the bottom inner frame assembly. The post are made from 2X4's that have had 1/4 inch planed from the broad side surface. Also the outer side of the post are trimmed down to 3/4" to match a 1X4. This is for attaching the side panels. They match the ones from the canopy which used 1X4 for the post since they do not bear the load of the tank full of water. The inner side of the post have been trimmed at an angle to allow a Sump to be inserted in ...
The first photo is the top inner frame parts of the stand. It has been notched with the router for the six post. The inner sides of the post have been trimmed to make room for a wider sump. It can be placed in either of two positions. To do this two of the post had to be trimmed on both sides. The parts stacked to the right in the photo are for the bottom frame. The next two photos are of the top frame one of each side. The next photo is of the bottom inner frame parts of the stand. You can see ...
I've been reefkeeping for about 25 years, and in that time I've gone from a 20 long, a 45 tall, and now a 135. When I got the larger tank (for a steal), I was super excited. I finely had the size I wanted. Large enough without being too large. Or so I thought. The tank has been up for about 6 years. In that time I've slowly lost interest. It seems I've put tons of time and money into care and maintenance, and very little time stopping and enjoying the tank. So, much to my wife's delight, I ...
Below are photo's of the parts for the stand. It is similar to the canopy in that has a inner frame which is actually the stand holding the tank. The back panel is a cabinet with 2 doors. One on each side. This will house the power bars for the pumps and other devices. It will also house the power supply's for the LED's. Behind the front door of the Stand will be the controller and modules. There are two doors on each side to gain access under the stand.

I snapped a few pictures today. Here's a view from the end of the 400g. The left end is looking nicer but I need to tidy it up. The skunk clownfish are still grouped, but during the daytime they like to spread out. If you can spot the Torch coral in the background on the green Montipora plate, you'll spy one under the torch. I ...
