Look wat i got

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just get 2 36" strip lights from your LFS. Shouldn't run more than $75. Also, Home Depot or Loew's will cut lumber square free of charge. My advice...plot out the stand and get measurements of each individual piece. Have them cut the peices so its a matter of screwing/glueing it all together when you bring it home.

wow i never thought about that im gonna go on the diy part of the fourm and see if anyone had made a stand for a big tank like mine so i can get the basic idea on how it has to be and do they do that at menards also?
 
I just got Home Depot to cut my wood for me and I put this together over the past 2 days. I'm going to put two 125's next to each other and make it look like one 12 foot tank when i'm all done :)

I started with a program and drew out what I was going to do here:

I was going to make a post of this DIY project here, but didn't know if anyone would want the plans to it and all. I'm running a forum over on cichlid-forum.com about it. Just joined here yesterday and thought I would look around.
 
good job... if you can build a stand.. you can build a sump... keep the pics coming
