Well the time has come for me to build something I can call my own. I am planning to expand from my bio-cube into a 40b. this time around, I wanted to be more prepared with my build and have everything together before I actually start to fill the tank. I have had a couple different tanks and learned SO much from this site. I have had my ups and downs and am truly amazed at how the people on this site come together and help each other out. the generosity of the people I have come in contact with is unmatched. so with all the long winded stuff said here we go.
40 breeder (thx Kratos)



Eshopps sumps with fuge (thx NXT) and Top Fathom TF 110a skimmer w/ rio 1700 pump courtesy of Adogg



and my stand to be courtesy of my local menards



this is going to be a long winded project so bare with me. hope you tag along to see this come to life

these are the tentative plans for the stand. I may change it a little, but this is what I am aiming for.

got to spend some quality time in the garage, so I build the frame to my stand. now I just need to get the pieces to wrap and trim it. and to my surprise, the frame is perfectly level. woo hoo small win

about half way through


pardon all the mess around it. we are getting a storage locker since the house we are in has no basement.

here is the finished frame
