MJ's 150 gallon rimless aquarium build #3
When i was planning for a stand..
I was going to use laminate sheets top on particle board... I decided to use it because water damage wasn't something i worry to much. I got steel frame which will carry all the weights.. Also laminate is pretty strong material.(we use it for counter top) I worked on it and made my doors and side pannels with it..    I used kreg european hinge template to drill perfact hole. I like it!      Tbh if i work on the pannels and doors again, i just going to use melamine board with edge tapes.. melamine board is much cheaper and much easy to work on..(i mean much much much easier) For the purpose of what we do, they are strong enough(im talking about the hardness not water resistance).. they dont get scratches easy and they dont warp... Even if you get water damage, you can always replace them cheap. Its just my opinion.. I made 2 doors instead of 3 doors.. I like it because i get more excess to it!

Hi guys im back.
I continued on my tank build.       That is pretty much done for the stand.. It came out really nice in general and i like the design. And time to work on plumbing. For me the most important factor is neatness. I found myself that i get really lazy if the inside is dirty. ( its like who cares? Its mess anyway) And everytime i open my doors for sump infront of the others, i felt shy.. So i want my cabinet to be more organized and neat.  I placed my sump inside. It is a perfact fit. Notice the bulkheads from the back pannel? It was the key factor of my plumbing design.   Installed 1" drain pipes. I used flex pvc for the bottom.(to give them little bit of wiggle room)  The return line...  Cabinet plumbing is done. I installed unions everywhere incase of disassemble. Also made 2 ball valves for future upgrades.(for reactors abd etc..) I can put more ball valves if i want to..(because of the unions each end, its easy to remove) I probably wouldnt use these ball valves for now, since i got a zeovit reactor for aquaforest stacking method. But who knows? i may use it at some point. And time to put the tank on the stand... Because of the thickness and size of the tank, it wasnt fun to move this thing around... (It was about 330lbs)  Finally.. i made it...  My synergy overflow  Aquarium with sump  I started plumbing again.  I made 3 of these kind pipes to connect my overflow to stand bulkheads. (I used unions for each pipes from the synergy overflow for just incase)    That is it for now... Will be continued... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
