Mom’s 75 gallon Tank Build

[Midknight]

Now the concept was to re-build the stand (old TV cabinet) they had been using into a cooler bigger stand.
So I came up with the idea for a 55G on top with a half hidden sump/refugium on the bottom


I even spent $20 on an extra on a second stand for spare parts.

Now during the design stage I had picked myself a 75 to setup for myself.
Many months past as my skill in woodworking is … lacking.
So came the day I moved from the third floor and was able to free up my old planted 50 for my mom.
But also got a smoking deal on a 95 (Journal on that later) so I gave the 75 to my mom.
Well all my stand plans and work out the window.

So after a cry for help with stand building 04scoobysti came to my rescue. (Once again LOTS of thanks)
With my months of planning it took him all of an hour to glue, screw & slap everything I had laying around into a stand.
Dragged it upstairs and tossed the tank on top and all was good.
