As a courtesy to a fellow MFKer, i could maybe build you a 2x4 stand for the cost of material. Youre in DC? Im in freddyburg to the south and drive through there regularly for work.Thanks. For the first time in months I'm getting my groove back in fishkeeping. Was pretty much going through the motions from all the losses but now I'm excited about the upcoming tank and new fishy friends! Because of home expenses I'm probably looking at November. East coast prices for everything are ludicrous. NOBODY WANTS TO BUILD A BASIC STAND. Everything has to be big bulky cabinet stuff they can charge you 2 grand for. One more company to try. So I'll be cheap where I can and spend money where I must.
Sometimes my mind races 100 miles an hour when I'm working through ideas. I even have a new list of names, ha haa. The pineapple plants arrived today. The 'green fern' plant looks nothing like the picture....solid deep green blades with white tips. Who comes up with this stuff? Back to Krylon.
Because I'm not hearing what I like price wise regarding tank stands I'll revise the block layout to SCALE this time. I admit I may have overreacted to the gap space. I might borrow P phreeflow idea of using some 8 inch blocks. I'm reconsidering the layout because of how the 125 is fully supported. It's on a built in tabletop stand and stacked with 3/4" maple on top of that I added. Underneath there's a support frame running the whole perimeter. The bottom is completely open ( I can open the cabinet doors, go underneath and run my hands over the whole tabletop bottom). So this supportsjjohnwm saying all those blocks aren't needed. I'll be drafting a rescaled graphic.
Anything to keep him from whining about too many blocks...
If youre interested, DM me and we could cover the details.
