Hi Everyone,
I decided to do a tank build for my next set up which I'm kind of excited about. It's a ~40 gallon tank (30”x18”x18”) with about a 20 gallon sump underneath. The display tank is starfire glass on 3 sides and black acrylic on the 4th. We bought the tank off of a fellow canreefer. It came with a metal stand but it didn’t fit in the car so I decided to build a stand myself. The stand took a while, it’s already done, but here are some of the pics I took of the stand. It’s much bigger than the stand b/c I wanted enough room underneath and because I think it works with the space…and it’ll fit a much larger tank in case I want to upgrade.
Built and sanded. Used 2x4 and 2x3 pine to build the frame. Covered it with birch veneer and added maple doors and top. Bottom shelf and back doors are pine.
Holes are drilled for the overflow
Stained (puritan pine) and varnished (3-4 coats)
Finished product
Used magnets to hold the front and right side door on so they’re totally removable and have good access to sump
