Floating canopy is good for now.. I might do a cable from the ceiling but that will be later! I gotta get the rest of this thing done! Replaced the black extruded aluminum with 1” clear acrylic.. looks way better in person but picking up light in the pics.. oh well! Lol

Looks nice but I do not envy having to move it to work on the tank when needed.

Yeah I know… I got 10” of height and it’s narrow compared to the tank so it’s not bad! I can reach in and do what I need without it being in the way..

Wiring is cleaned up! Hood is done and fishies are in! Yay! Now I gotta drain my cube, clean it and sell it! Half black mimmic, convict, sailfin, and a dozen chromis for now.

Nice job the tank looks very clean. Is that a custom stand or diy? I’m asking cause im curious how many horizontal braces they used going front to back?

It’s home made.. very minimal bracing and super strong.. I’ll shoot you some pics

It’s just 3/4” plywood and three 2x4 horseshoes if that makes since.. like a staple on both ends and in the center.. no other framing

 

[rocket098]

Wow thanks that does look pretty minimal but looks like it works. I was a bit concerned about mine thanks

 

[rocket098]

Any chance on measurements of those unsupported squares of plywood

Stand is 72L x34w and 36” tall.. 2x4 supports on the ends and one in the center only.

Been in on this one from the beginning. (Actually, from before the beginning of this build thread.)

Yeah I’m sure! I have a couple greens and a blue in there.. currently got about 50 different acros in here.. I will start thinning the heard for higher end pieces as I can afford them lol..

Thank you! It came out really clean! My house is a trip haha! Me and momma bought it last year and it’s mostly rustic like white wash wood etc.. then we got a few modern looking things to break it all up! It works thou and looks amazing.. I even painted my pool table to match my house. It’s more of a decoration as it never gets used! Whoops! Lol
