I caulked and sealed every seam and all that brown marks are wood fillers, just want everything smooth
Bottom trim on Top on, just need to put the corner and top molding on and cut my pipe holes. Cutting holes Hmm, it'll work..wont see it anyways Just need to glue it down and a few finished nails. Almost done! Just need to sand it down and put on the prime. and wait for the 4 doors to come in. should I roll on the paint or use a spray can? |

Stand is looking good. How tall is it? Looks like you will have plenty of space for a good skimmer.

Looking good Rob. If you ever need a hand with anything or some extra muscle to get the stand in feel free to holler any time.

I picked up my 300 Gallon DD from JoJo's Aquarium's today!!
From 3 man to 2 manning a 400 pound tank, still all smiles! Only sad note, is Im holding Thanksgiving at my house for the family and I cant start construction until the 30th, since we are redoing our floors and I need to tile the section where the tank is going, and maybe break down a few walls |

Stand looks awesome. Great carpentry skills. I am also considering the Kessils too so can't wait to see those in action.

I think it will be all worth it and don't have to rush my build.

Congratulations on the upgrade! Now, only trying to help out here with regard to the stand. It seams the majority of your tank weight is carried to the vertical support structure (and therfore to the floor) through the hardware. A better design is to knotch the 4x4posts and set the horizontal members into the 4x4. Also, I would have doubled up the 2x6's (glued and screwed) to make a header along the front and back...and would have used 2x8's actually. A 2x6 has little strength (relatively speaking). Sincerely only trying to help out.
Edit: sorry completely missed the second page of the thread. Had no idea you were as far as you are. I feel like a total a$$ for saying anything. Last edited by ChrisColumbus; 11/20/2013 at 08:43 PM. Reason: Missed second page of the thread. |
