Madreefers New Build/Upgrade

[The Guy]

Nice stand Bill, I like taller as well, my DIY built in stand is 37" tall. Is your new tank getting custom built by the guy in Calgary?

Yup, Concept is building it. Paul from Oceanic Corals is looking after it all for me. It'll be the same same size as the stand but only 30" deep. I just went with normal glass, black silicone, eurobraced with a coast to coast overflow and herby drains. The stand is going to a cabinet maker to be skinned to match the cabinets in my house. I want to paint the stand white first. Powdercoating wont be neccesary as sump will be in basement. This will be a slow build as my wife has no idea of costs involved. Saving up my allowance for the funding
Relatives made me the stand for free so that is a huge savings.

Those diagonals should make that stand earthquake proof. I've done many build by putting aside allowance money. It's good in a way because you have time I between stages to really think and plan.

Yea i'm getting pumped. Couple more allowance days to go before the tank is paid off and can be started.

Great tank dimensions Bill
I don't envy you reaching the back, but I sure wish my tank had all that space for scaping - and a coast to coast

Have you decided yet if you're going to stick with your current equip ?

Haha I wish my wife liked the dimensions. She thinks it's too big and does'nt want to part with the my round tank. It does look good where it's placed.
Yea the overflow will take up 6" but will still have 24" for aquascaping. I'm going to see if a 4" wide overflow will be able to work.
Yes I plan on using all of my old equipment. I guess a list of my equipment should be part of my journal too eh?

Like I said, a slow build. At least it's painted now. I know, just a stand but it's a start.
