xmetal's 75 gallon upgrade (2/22/12)

Subscribed! I can't wait to follow your progress.

 

I hope it will be forward progress. I figure it will take me about 5 hours to do everything. Then another 5 to let things simmer down in the tank before I put fish and corals in it. Off to Lowes for the 20 feet of 2"x2" now. Then to the pet store to get photos of the 36" x 18" stand equivelant to the one I am going to be using and to cut the 2"x2". The boss says I can't use my power tools inside

 

What?!?! But that's no fun!!!

 

Exactly, its not like I didn't clean up my mess from the acrylic legs I made for the tek light. When she isn't around I plan on using them anyway, but don't tell her.

 

hahah.... subscribed to your thread!!! Good luck!

 

Just got back from Lowes and other errands. Weather is getting nasty again. As promised here is a photo of a smaller version of the 75 stand.



I will be removing the feet on the bottom as well.

 

I just got the stand/shelving done for the UPS, chemicals, test kits, and other items. Please excuse the poor photos and the unsanded edges. I was not allowed to use my powertools since the boss didn't leave to go studay for a test tonight...

Somewhat looks like a crappy step stool.

 

Looks great! I can see your feet! hehe keep up the good work!

 

At size 13 its hard not to see them

Was at walmart buying a nice 12 plug power strip and saw a nice 3 bulb led stick on lighting. I decided to buy it and use it as a light for in the stand.

 

I am sorry to inform everyone that the upgrade will not occure this weekend but next weekend. I have work on Sat and lots of school work to do on Sun so I can't be up all night upgrading. However, I will be working on the stand and posting photos as it progresses. Sorry
