I haven’t kept fish for over 15 years, something in me decided I needed to change that. After getting two freshwater tanks going about 10 months ago, I decided I wanted to really challenge myself and get a reef tank going. I also am a hobbyist carpenter and so I wanted to build by stand instead...

I have decided to part with my FOWLR tank and upgrade to a larger tank more suitable for a mixed reef. Tank, stand, canopy and sump are for sale $1,100. All livestock as shown in pictures have been sold. Pick-up only - will not ship. Tank was bought new in January 2021.

Hi everyone! About a week ago I had to unexpectedly move, but this was the perfect excuse for a tank upgrade! I ordered a 22 Gallon Low Iron Rimless Glass Tank by Mr. Aqua! My older brother helped me build a tank stand and set up a sump as quickly as we could! My stand blueprints were put...
I am currently setting up my 120 gallon reef tank. A little background info first. 2 years ago I purchased a new 120 gallon aquarium with most of the equipment. I was running a 90 gallon in desperate need of a refresh. It is still limping along with the two external canister filters and...
It has been 6 years since I started reefkeeping, and in that time I have had two AIO aquariums: an 8 Gallon Cube and an Innovative Marine Nuvo 20. However, I have always wanted to have a sump and a refugium, and all of my equipment in one spot underneath the stand. I've seen hundreds of other...
The build started unexpectedly when I was able to get a 180 gallon tank locally being sold by another reefer. I have been building it slowly. Here's the progress so far, but there's a lot of work that still remains.
Current Tanks:
80 gallon Deep Blue
50 gallon Low Boy
The plan is to set up...
HI. I have had this tank running for 10 years! Some corals and fish have been along for most of the ride. I am moving and unfortunately will not be taking the tank with me. Everything must go. Glass tank. Tons of coral, fish (Chevron Tang, Purple Tang, Clown fish, and a few others), live...
I'm back into the hobby after a 3 year hiatus and I'm super excited to start! Have going back and forth between a Nuvo 20, Nuvo 30L and a Nuvo EXT 30L, I finally landed on the EXT 30L. I liked the long 3 ft version and the ability to add a sump. I had also planned on building my own stand to...
I've got two 120Gs, and I'm thinking about wrapping my newly built wood stands in stone (probably faux stone to keep the weight down). I'd love to see some examples of the custom stands some of you have built using stone for the outer skin.
*** Please post pictures of the front and sides of...
I don't have enough time to keep up the frag tank anymore, so selling it. Tank was a custom build from Advanced Acrylic. 3/4" thick. Tank dimensions - 60"L x 24"W x 12"H.
Custom stand that was built for the tank. Skinned with reclaimed wood.
Sump is an acrylic by Synergy reef.
Asking $1,200...
