New 90 gl. (under construction)


Well, a few weeks ago I upgraded from my old 75gl. to a 90gl. Oceanic RR Aquarium.
I figured new tank = new stand, canopy, ect...
so here are some pic's of the process

The top and botom frame is a 2x6 that i ripped in half. The legs are 2x4

the other material used is 3~1 1/8" thick Oak stair treads left over from a remodling job last year. I ripped them down to 3" x 1/2" solid Oak & I bought a sheet(4' x 8') of 1/4" Oak plywood for the sides, door insert ect..


dental detailing at the top of the stand and canopy...
