    Default Stand for 110G SW

    I started this on Saturday, only to lose it in the great crash...

    So here it is again...

    I picked up a 110g Salt Water setup from Craigslist about a month ago and until last weekend didn't have the opportunity to deal with it.

    It came with a stand that I didn't like and many more parts

    I started on Saturday by cutting most of the lumber and building the Top and Bottom



    On Sunday I finished the painting and assembly.

    Default Update

    On Monday I was able to get the stand in place.

    In Place


    Last night I purchased everything for the drain line, tonight I cut, fit and glued the plumbing together.


    Tomorrow I'll glue the plumbing in place and start on the pump line. I also need to brace the stand some more as I can shake the stand if I try.

    Doors and sides will follow once the tank is running.

    Don't want to have to deal with them while plumbing

    IMO, i would put some diagonal supports on the back and sides, so it doesnt rock. That's alot of weight up there. Other wise looking good.

    Cut the material for the supports and painted them last night, install tonight along with the drain plumbing.
    House for sale, all tanks gone for now
    110g SW still available
    Once I've moved I'll figure out where and how many new tanks will be coming....
