About LinkBacksI have another project getting underway. This one is a stand for a 125g with a 75g and an FX5 below. The lower tank is set to one side of the stand allowing room for a door to hide the filter. I was able to get some boards cut for the frame this weekend. Here's some concept pictures. I'll update as I make more progress.

The lower 75 is another aquarium.

Got to make some progress on this stand today. Almost have the frame completely assembled. Here are a couple of pictures. Just to put the size into perspective, the frame behind it, to the right is the frame for my 90g, standing on end!!
This is a big boy.
The top frame hasn't been secured yet. I ran out of screws and had to run out for more. 2 cross supports will also be added to the top frame to match the bottom. The left will house an FX5 and the right is the 75g.Daniel

The frame is now completely assembled. Next step is the outside casing. A trip to the lumber store soon.

Assembly is complete now. Just need to give it a final sanding, and then start painting. I am really happy with how this stand has come together.
