It begins again

Thanks. For now it's going to be a fish only with a few ricordia and some softies but I don't now how long that will last. I'd like to try some Angels and a puffer

 

OK so as you can see I have the stand built but not Skinned. I'm not a expert carpenter or even a mildly good one. So I'm wondering what would be the best material to work with that would net the nicest results.
Any links or suggestions would be very helpful. I'm looking for a modern look


Thanks
Jason

 

very very nice! cant wait to follow along!!!!

 

Still on the floor laughing about your silicone comment J Man have I been there a few too many times! … and grats on the new tank!!!

 

Finally was able to get the plumbing done today




Not very exciting. But I have all the plywood to start skinning the frame as well. But that's likely going to have to wait as I'm travelling quite a bit in November

 

Looking good, can't wait to follow along. One question, Are you going to be running an ATO? Just the return section looks a bit tight if not, I would expect a fair amount of evap from a tank that large?

 

Looking good!

 

Yes I'll be running an auto top off. I wouldn't have a tank without it
Already ran the lines through th ceiling :

looking good so far, can't wait to see how the stand turns out once skinned

 

Stand is skinned but not painted. Will get pics later in the week as I'm at the airport heading to LA for work.
