Well as you all already know. I took the tank down about two months ago. During this time I've been using my sump as a frag tank. I was able to keep a couple of my corals. I also convinced my buddy to sell me back some of the corals I had sold and my hippo tang. I kept all of my equipment and it's time to set the tank back up.

The original stand is no longer usable. Has severe water damage so I decided to build a stand over the new years weekend. Here are some pics. I started on Saturday the 31st. Today it was stained and door installed. I will add the poly coat tomorrow. I will post more pics once the tank is on it.

This is my first time ever at building any kind of furniture as you can probably tell.


Frame out of 2X4's and a 2X10 for the front radius(curve)







Wrapped with 1/4 inch oak plywood.




Stained red chestnut.




Black glass door from old tank.
