Incredible build bro, You have some mad skills ... I might have to borrow your stand and sump design LOL! I really do not think that stand should be covered I really like it the way it is I can't wait for a full tank shot with all your fish ! =)

AMAZING BUILD!!! i was going to ask for cost as well but since i am in the states im sure the cost would be 100% different .. so no point .. but just wanted to say GREAT JOB!!! super clean ..

now for pics with the fish ..

Thank you.. i will be posting a cost break down when it is finnished.. although it will be alot different than what you might have to pay, you'll at least see how much cheaper it is to build your own...

Well done. Very impressive.

Thank you very much

Wow! Everything is A++++++ professionally done.....you should make me one!

Will do! whats your address? first ones free!

Thanks for the compliment!

You make that look so simple.
Nice work!

It really was simple.. i thought i didnt provide enough detail... i think i just made it look harder than it was.

Please, I await the final outcome of this outstanding build!

Patience, pics of the finnished product is soon to come....

And i thought i provided enough pics already...

You did that with ''POOR MAN TOOLS''.
Man I am both jealous and very impressed at the same time !!!!!!!

By poor man tools, i really mean it.. i used a hack saw blade broken in half to prepare the edges... A jig saw that might have cost $40 to cut the acrylic in places i needed... and a mitre saw that cost about $50 to make the teeth in the over flow.... and a $10 propane torch to flame polish.(that $10 included the propane!)

I could only imagine how much easier it would have been if i had invested in some nice tools. BUT, the point is, any one can do it.

GREAT DIY BUILD!!! DIY to the extreme!!!

Wow, flabbergast! I know hat material I'm using if I ever build from scratch. That is ultra cool...

You wont regret it either!

nicely done A++++

Thank you!

The stand is the same design i have used for ever stand build i have done.. works nicely. This is a bit more beafy than i usually do though. Its cheap, but more importantly, it is strong.

the sump was all i could come up with given the materials i had. If i wasnt restricted, my original plan would had been far more impressive.

Wow! Truly impressive! I envy your skills and patience.

Thanks! I only had patience during the build because no one was around me to interupt the madness...

thanks!

Thats the truth!!!!!
