not a lot... these plywood tanks r pretty cheap...
by the end of it all ill have spent like 1200 dollars
and thats including the stand, tank, canopy, filter and decor...
 
Nice... i love it looks like it almost done. I cnt wait to see it all done.

its not the money its the final produce and the feeling that you did it yourself.

yeah, but if i cant afford it im afraid imma never see the final product.. now that would be a bummer.

hes right about the feeling of doing it urself... and about affording it i wudnt worry too much aslong as u have a place to work on it where u can take ur time u can build as the money comes in... thats wat i did
ive been workin on it for over 3 or 4 months now...
 
For me finding a place to put the tank when its done is the problem, great job keep the pics coming.

Yea haha I know wat u mean... and I woke up this morning realizing I might have a problem. The tank fits through the door of the room it needs to go into with just a few centimeters to spare... but now the overflow pipe extentions are sticking out of te bottom... im gonna go measure it in a min and hope its still ok... otherwise ill have to remove the door frame :P

Ok nevermind its still ok :)

Anyway so today I was feeling kind of useless waiting for the silicones to dry... It suddenly hit me... Im practically done! just needa make the canopy and decorations and the sump. SO today I went and bought a bunch of styrofoam. I HAVE A GIANT BLOCK OF STYROFOAM! what i plan to cut out of it is not ur average wall piece... Im making a well its hard to explain
its basically sort of a cave/tree combined in one which will cover the left overflow pipe.
just wait and see
