375g in wall build
- Thread starter Clay
- Start date
All the backer board is up, most of the drywall mudding has been completed, and I'm almost done building a new stand (for a 90g RR I picked up for cheap). Once that stand is finished, I'll build another (matching) for the 120g RR.
I also did some routing on the sump this weekend, so that's all ready to go. I had some teeth between chambers, and I decided to remove them. I use a little Bosch hand held 1hp Colt. It's a GREAT router for little projects, and for $90, you get a very solid workhorse. If you're in the market for a trim router, this is a good one. Fine Woodworking magazine also rated it very highly. I used a set of Ryobi bits that were on sale ($50, I think?), and since I'm not a professional woodworker, I didn't need to spend ~$25 on a single bit. This kit had 20ish pieces of varying uses.

I would LOVE to do a tank like this in my wall! My only problem would be deciding on what the decor should be like and what to stock it with... Congrats on the progress!
Oh, I know what I'm going to stock.. I've been assembling equipment for quite a while. This evening, I placed an order for the future occupants. 
I'll post some pics when it's ready.

Can't wait to see the final product.Clay;4757167; said:And somehow I convinced her to try it out....
My wife is looking up ideas for our spring diving trip as I type this, maybe I can convince her to let me get a bigger tank that we can dive in whenever we want.
