Reefkeeper's 75 Gallon Build

TRT,

Recently broke ground on my 75 gallon reef tank build and figured I would get a thread rolling. My current set up is a 72 bowfront seen below. I aquired the tank and stand about a year ago and recently made the decision to upgrade to a new 75 gallon tank, and build a custom stand.

This is an older picture of the tank after about 4 months or so...



Started working on the new stand about two weeks ago with a good friend. Began with cutting and assembling the top and bottom frames using all 2x4's and a 2x6 for the top front beam.



Bottom assembled.



Top assembled



Following with getting the legs cut and put together using an L shaped design with 2x4.



Test fitting.



Then cut the two pieces to completed the front two legs using 2x6's.



Drilled the pocket holes and fastened the frame together.





Frame all put together.
