Yellowworld's 2012 Nano Contest Entry

Alright everyone so since I dont have anything new to do with the tank at the moment i thought i would go ahead and start working on the filing cabinet turned sump stand here is the progress so far,





Then I took out all the hardware and the drawers


After gutting the cabinet i took all the fronts off the drawers and used them to make the door so that it still looked like the original cabinet


Then I added a magnet lock


Then I drilled 4 holes in the top of the stand for the overflow and return plumbing to go though




Then it was off to paint!










The next thing for me to is wait until its all try then run a seam of caulking around the bottom edge to make it water tight and then most likely cut one or two more holes in the back to add computer fans for a little air movement and circulation.

Thanks guys! i just wish my check would come in so i can go get some glass for this tank!

The stand is all dry now and i think its time to introduce the tank behind the tank the reason why ill be able to keep the display tank so clean and unhindered with equipment and clutter...MY SUMP!!

its a standard 15g tank that when all is said and done will hold an aditional 7 gallons bringing my total to 20g
