43 gallon acrylic build

[koa25]

I've had plenty of conversations with people that its all in the build. And I am bored. So here goes a build ha ha. I picked up this tank a while back for a steal and between my insomnia and having too much time on my hand, I started into the stand and canopy.

Nice! What's the dimensions?

[koa25]

Its 34x17.5x16. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. But getting the ball rolling. Getting better at this whole stand building bit. Only the second stand I've built. Appropriate tools definitely helps ha ha.

[koa25]

Lol. I'm not stocking it. Just building the stand and canopy for now. Army will ship it anyways. Just killing time until the move.

Mike,

You better not get over there and not set up any tanks.

Looks like a good build though.

BTW, Dropped papers earlier this month, I'm not ROAD, but it's pretty much a done deal.

Main part of the stand is done. Going to pick up trim and detail pieces and then stain it. Going tobdo a kona brown. Front pops off with magnets. Sides are stationary. No back. Sump easily comes out the front if need be. Had to do some creative sanding on the side panels when I messed up cutting. I need to invest in a table saw. Everything is plumb and level. Not bad for a second stand. Little plain. But I'll add stuff to make it a little more interesting.
