Kwinter1's 125 new adds pg 24

I got sand from them, it was quick shipment and of good quality.

 

Came in today, pretty sure I have tons more than I need.
Got glass ordered to make the sump will be ready on friday!
Going to get wood for stand tomorrow and start it Thursday.

 

Ok, started stand and about to silicone sump together tonight ! progress I have pictures to add when I can figure it out i just got photobucket.

 

This is my 40 breeder sump plan left to right fuge 93/4Lx10H, return 12Lx9H, baffles 2" apart middle 2" off bottom, and then skimmer 10Lx9H. Let me know what you think. Appreciate it

 

Should have some pics of stand put together tomorrow. Used dowel pins and glue so far to hold it together.

 

The front and back sections of stand look like this.

 

I would use some screws as well along with the dowels. I used 3" decking screws in mine.

 

sorry pics are from my phone no idea where my camera is but i did get a new computer today Going to put stand together tomorrow and seal it. Also, cut trim, plywood, and stain it. The plan is that large section in middle is going to be a magnetic and have two fake cabinent doors on outside to cover seams. Kinda winging the outside of it, but this stand is going to cost less than $150 pretty stoked.

 

The ends are going to be screwed on using 4 inch deck screws.
Not a big fan of dowels after drilling 48 of them but at 1/2 x 2 1/2 they are strong.

 

Well I have made some progress, wished it were more but here are a few.

This is before we screwed it together and were working on getting it perfectly level, quit a pain in the butt, it is perfectly level now though well worth the work.

This is screwed together and after a heavy coat of polyurethane. You can see in the back ground the plywood is stained just needs cut. Much redder than I wanted but I'm not going to restain. The following picture is another pic of another piece that is stanied.
