Very nice! Are you a carpenter by trade? Looks like you have a nice shop.

Nope, Pipefitter. I build drag car chassis, rollcages & any kind of welding at home.

Wish I could take credit for the doors but I had a guy from work that builds cabinets make them, I was never happy with the doors I made on my 120gal. & dont have the proper tools to make em right.

cioutlaw · 06-26-2007, 09:54 PM

Finally some updates

Used steel knee braces to stiffen things up

Still have to mount lights & some touch up, sanding, stain & paint the inside...also missing a door on the backside, lost a set of hinges some how.

cioutlaw · 07-31-2007, 05:47 PM

Updates...all the stain is done & .

decided to make some small panels to cover the sides of the full width overflow, they velcro on.

Im going to leave the top open for now but we will see how it goes after 3 250w pendants & VHO actinics are on. thats a sliding light rack for the pendants.

Got bored at work & built this stainless pan for the bottom of the stand to catch any minor leaks or spills.
