Did you drill the tank to use the overflow box?

Wow, looks amazing

Looks awesome!

Careful watering that pathos. . . my wife tried to hang one of ours above my tank and I was afraid tap water (and soil) might fall in during watering. . . but I might be a little paranoid haha!

I love this. Great job on the stand. I just built out the Mr. Aqua version of this tank. I absolutely love the way it feels like a big tank but it’s still a manageable sized nano.

This looks great so far! Do you have the build plans or any additional info on how you built the stand? I have this same tank and have been looking for a decent stand for it that will accommodate a sump without much luck.

So pretty!! I can't wait to see what you do with it, I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my 15g. Definitely following along

So your tank doesn't need bracing? That has a really slick look! Well, except for the cords on the floor, but I'm sure you'll get that taken care of. A+
