IMG_2512.JPGThis is my first ever attempt at this and it came out much better than expected. The tank is 74x20x30. It's an odd size and I got it from off Craiglist from a guy that had it in a grocery store as a lobster display. It is an industrial tank made of fiberglass and weighs a ton. Great deal though for $60. I had to seal the pipes that were broken off when the disassembled it and they cut them to point that they were not salvagable to reuse. I had to cap them and seal it off unfortunately.

The stand is made from 2x6's and 2x4's. It was a pain at first. But once I got rollin', it was smooth sailing from there. The hood wasn't started for some time later and finally finished it this wekend, along with painting it. Pics attached....
