jkhchris 105 gallon tank build
Well the tax return finally came. I ordered a tank through OA that was made by Seastar. It is 60"x20"x20" with corner bracing made with 1/2 glass. It has a overflow box in the rear left corner with a overflow and a return. The tank is made but I am waiting for the overflow box to be built. I started the stand last week at work. I based it on the Allglass style stand and made it out of pine.
Here is a poor picture of the frame of the stand.  Another poor picture of the stand framed in.  A picture with the doors on and ready to stain.  And a few of the stand stain.    I also fiberglassed the inside base of the stand to hold in water just incase I have any leaks or spills. Chris Last edited by Chowder; 06-23-2008 at 01:15 AM.

Ya it's hard to go into OA and see the tank sitting there just waiting to be filled up. But on the other hand this is something I have wanted to do for about a year now and a little longer to wait is really nothing. Atleast there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks Drew I can't wait to see the rest too.

Looking good and congrats on the upgrade. Now you can grow your sps twice as big. Looking forward to the final build.

Thanks Chin , I can't wait till I get it set up and going. It will be nice to have some extra space. I might actually have enough pieces to fill the new tank already. The 65 has become basically a frag tank.
Heres a shot of it so you know what I am talking about.  And yes that is full colonies on trays on the front glass. Chris

Well got the tank today. I moved the stand and tank into the place and put it where I want it to be.
 Now the fun begins. I plan on starting to fill it tomorrow with some water . I believe I will try and get it alll swapped by Sunday if it is possible. Chris
