I started this thread a little late so progress will go fast at first. Tank is a truvu 125H, 60X18X24 about 112 gallons.

Here is the finished frame.

Here it is all skinned with 3/4" oak plywood. I used 3/4" so I could use quarter round moulding on the corners to match the round corners on the tank.

I fabbed up a hidden latch to keep the kids out so I dont have to put locks on the outside of the doors.


Finally in the house, filled and checked for level and leaks.

That is a very good tank so far. With the top it could fit in any room in the house.

Thanks, Im going to get a delhezi for sure. Im still deciding on the rest, maybe some rosline barb's, african butterfly fish , and some smaller catfish like raphael's and hope the bichir doesn't eat them. Im going to do low light plants as well. I put the fourite black sand and driftwood in last night , got the filters hooked up and started cycling tonight. Tomorrows plan is to mount the doors and start the canopy. Should have some more pics soon.
