i decided to do another tank build. i had one a couple of years ago in Victoria BC, it was just a 40gal with hang on protien skimmer. Really enjoyed it but left it in Victoria when i moved to Saskatchewan.
so this time i went bigger it is a 90gal with a 40gal sump custom made by a reef tank enthusiest j_hammer (who is a member on this site) with out his help i would have been lost.... thanx j_hammer!!!!!!!!!
i looked all over for a stand and never realy found one i liked and they all had center braces that would not work with the sump underneath. so i decided it would be a good idea to try to build one. what a pain in the #$@. i am a welder so i welded a stand out of square tubing and screwed plywood to it then coverded the plywood in oak and stained it and clearcoated it.
got 160 pounds of live rock from a tank that was being taken down, got some really nice pieces.
equipment list.
-concept aquairium 90gal tank drilled.
