[Joefish]

Im sorry i guess i dont, no full tank shots, and i did fill it with Kipili frontosa but i switched it back to a SA bio tope tank, with G Altifrons in it, F1's young around 2" but i am growing them out, and hope to add some more BIG driftwood back in it soon.

Thanks! sorry for the late reply, as a matter of fact i have been out of the hobby for almost a year. sold the tank setup . but the top just had the doors on the front. and was made light so easy off for cleaning.

Joefish, That was a beutiful stand very profesional. Thanks for updating your thread!! I am buying a used 150 today and I needed a DIY guide to building a stand. I will be using your pics as a guide. You should do a clean thread and they should make it a sticky for DIY stands!!!!

Thanks again
John

john i agree it should be a sticky,


and Jeremy thats about right on!

i just made a second one. here it is..

it matches almost 100% except i changed the two front outer legs so the two outer doors had more space to get things in and out of the stand.

sorry for the bad pics but i was using my phone to take pics.
