A drop in the bucket for an established 180 gallon tank. Do it right the first time... trust me on that!

[saltysupply]

here is a pic of it in the spot it will go in...the im debating removing the storage cubbard in the back for more room.



the main issue I had when cutting the wood was I was using a standard circular saw instead of the table style saw

[saltysupply]

we are also in the process of redoing the kitchen and painting it etc...it will be the color you see on the right and the stand will be white

[saltysupply]

Im adding more supports to the top...problem is I dont know where the overflows are on the tank since I havent ordered it yet so I dont want to block them with 2x4's

You'll want as much room behind the tank as you can get, as it just makes it easier to work on. I'd recommend pulling out those shelves.

Pretty wise move... I didnt even start building the stand before I had the tank at the house. I did not want to redo it for that reason.

does anyone have the measurements for the overflows on a AGA 180...not the corner overflows but the center ones.

[saltysupply]

Starting to wrap the front of the tank..added a couple more supports...tank is level now my gf had to show me how to use the level lol..





some cool shots from camping this weekend.

Another cool pic I found from this weekend

New update....was bored and was plenty of daylight so I made a trip to home depot.






This is some of the molding im using around the bar to go with the wine theme we want to use in the kitchen

[saltysupply]

The reason for the high wrap around the stand is because I want to cover the deep sand bed...it will come up right to the top of the sand.

[saltysupply]

I redid the wrap today...and installed some of the molding and bar portion

[saltysupply]

got some more wood work done..is coming along pretty nicely even though its cost some money in mistakes=/

im moving my thread back to here, I just got everything painted, next is getting the tank in...should be the next month or so.
