We just had that house shaker here couple days ago, I did not want to take any chances

Moved the tank in tonight because the floor is finally dry

I plan on building two stands on either side with three 60 gallon tanks each, plumbing will run along the back wall; I'm going to use the hole-saw to cut into the next room running the plumbing for everything to a central location out of the way.

Hopefully I have time tomorrow to finish touching up the floor; also going to start working on the equipment room....

Waiting on bulkheads..... and someone to get back to me about custom led lighting

I think most of us seen that tank at Concepts!

But I have to ask, just because it's me

I see a Miller Mig welder in the pic of the stand build & just have to know......why wood & not metal for the stand?

Can't wait to see more!!!

Honestly it was cheaper to build out of wood, most likely going to weld the stands for the other six aquariums

Ah I see, for me metal is cheap the wood being in the industry & able to get whole sale pricing.
