That's incredible! I'm sooo jealous. Anyway... I subbed too. Great job! I think I'm goign to start begging for one from my bf.... lol
I will be able to access the tank from all sides. The tank will be centered along the wall. Also the top of the tank will be 53" high. I will have a canopy on it, but it will be built just like this, but for WAY cheaper: http://steelaquariumstands.com/Natalie;4585227; said:Looks great with the painted bottom! How are you going to do maintenance on a tank with that footprint? You'd have to have either a ladder or a pulley system to suspend yourself over the tank.
He wanted $2000+ for the stand, and $2000+ for the cabinetry. HA HA, my stand will be made for less than $500.
Why paint the bottom, which will be covered with sand, but not the back or side?
I can't believe you let her take the time to brush that twice instead of going out to get a roller, btw. That was mean!
Will you be figuring out a way to cover up the sides since there's a visible overflow and the plumbing/holes? That presents a minor design challenge, but it could also just be done with a nice wide piece of fluted moulding to frame the entire unit, which would class it up quite a bit.
I also wonder how you plan to put a lid on that giant space. Kind of amazing it doesn't have cross pieces...
