75g Build (Indo-Pacific Reef) - A Long Work in Progress

Just realized a 75g won't fit in a sedan. lol. I will have to see if my FS will ship the 75g tank to me. It's in another town but they have really good prices. I don't know if they ship though.

 

Plans look good. I like the design. Very interesting.
I'll be following your build

 

Thanks.

It looks like I will be holding off(again. lol) until next weekend to start the framing, unless we start with just the end frame pieces, as we are tight on money.

My summer health class is over next Wednesday then camping with Dad and the brother for a week, then the building begins.

 

wow,how do u come up with that money i would luv to no sense im trying to start a 15g because thats all i can afford sadly. Your cabnet on your first post is pimp i cant wait to see the real thing,have u desided if u r gonna go with the 75g or not?

 

home depot, truck rental $20 for first hour.

 

Thanks, again. I was trying to make it to look like furniture. we will use beadborad then go around the edges with would and make the trim myself. I'll explain this when it comes to that point.

I decided to go with the 75 gallon as I would not have to change the design at all & it gave me 20 more gallons. I just made the stand 6" wider to accommodate for the wider tank. Also the FS I go to sells tanks at $1/gallon. So it was only $20 more than a 55g tank would be.

I don't actually have "all that money". lol I plan to get a job soon(hopefully) & will try to pay for most of it. I've found some stuff used & about half the stuff is new(equipment wise).

I am gonna try to drop a big chunk of money on this thing then buy things over time after that.

 

No HD near where I live. haha

 

Plumbing plan. Won't be for a while though.

 

looks good keep up the work.

 

Try craigslist.com you can get 75g for under 100 dollars, some people will diliver for extra cash...
