New project, custom cabinet with custom 10g

[Fenker]

So I bought a truvu 10g a few years back wanting to make a sweet nano.
unfortunately it was only used as a back up tank for a couple months total. So i pulled it out of the closet the other day and decided to build it into a sweet display.
its going to have a built on overflow, and possibly a custom sump.
All I need to do is add the Door and instal the drawer.

I'm confused, so is this a build thread or a for sale thread?

I'm hoping it's a build thread, that setup looks sweet :)

Its a build thread for now.

The crappy import plywood I got for free burned through to easy and to many times. So i painted and antiqued it.
I think it looks much better.

The tank is at precision marine right now having the overflow built on. All I need to do is figure out the sump.
stupid me made it half inch to small to fit a standard10g in the cabinet for a sump, so looks like ill have to use a 5g or have pm build me a custom one.

If u don't know how to antique, all u do is stain over dry paint, get it into all the crevices and nooks than wipe it off. Easy peazy
