I had this old portable dishwasher that my father in law used as a portable work bunch, took the top off & sanded it down.

Then I took the legs off a really old table that my wife had me move all over the house for the last decade until she finally said to get rid of it once & for all. Put them on the freshly sanded top to make a decent table for my tank to sit on.

And now with the tank on it.

Cool tank. Good job of reusing an old table and dishwaser top

Cool Grizz, great way to repurpose the old furniture.

Tank full of water & pump running but I think I want to increase the flow a little bit by getting a bigger pump.

Looks great Greg

Looks good, I love the pic with the bear with a fish in paw looking into the tank

Just wait more to come this week, made the hanger for my light but still have to mount it, still have to hook up my AC Jr., get some sand & rock in to it.

Ok so after working in the snow all day in Edmonton ( not a good thing when you are a welder ) & freaking out because your wife txt you to tell you the power is out, I finally get home around 8 pm to find big tank is ok but a little cold. So I start on getting a few thing done on the nano.

First the light hanger for black SOL, I put the control on the arm for a lack of a better idea for now:

Then I washed some sand & through it in. Moved the tank back to the wall and refilled it. I hope to have time to set the rock in tonight also think the flow is a little low so I might pick up a bigger pump on the way home again from Edmonton.

I hope the judges will be kind to me as I am a few days off the time line but I am a busy man and working out of town ATM.

Enjoy and more to come.
