Petco is having a wicked sale so i am going to pick up a 55 gallon Aqueon deluxe kit from them. (replacing filter with my own filter of course). They didn't have any more in stock :(:(:( on Saturday when i went but they said they will have more on monday:D:headbang2. So i went to Home depot and started on the stand. It was pretty cheap, $35 for wood, nails and paint.
So here i am starting (and finishing the stand)
It took about 8 hours non stop to complete it and i am currently waiting for the spray paint to dry:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:
My dad helped a bit with the drawing out and design of the stand but i did all the cutting and putting it together
hopefully i will get the tank tomorrow, i am planning on an African Cichlid tank (will be my first one)
Any comments/ ideas???:mwave:
