From scratch 55g tank stand build.

impressive setup! Looking good so far!

Thanks again

Don't laugh but this is the electrical system I have to plug everything in I bough a really expensive surge protected multi plug as the main and it has a 6foot extension on to plug into the wall the main multi plug had individual switches.
I will plug all the lights into one multi plug and all the heaters into another and the filters into another and with one switch I can switch off all the filters or the other switch all the heaters.

My fish are trained so when the filters go off they know it is food time. I do this so the flake does not get pushed around and I can remove uneaten food if needed.

Okay so here it is well have a few more things to do like water fish gravel ect lol

Looks great!

Thanks Peeps but will still post a few pics when the two ten gallons fill the empty gap and I am going to make a You Tube clip when I get chance.The photo does not do the paint justice as it looks much nicer with the eye. I have mounted ball bearing draw runners behind the small top flap to hold it level for a working surface to do tests ect.

Nice! Can't wait to see the 10 gallons! It was a smart idea to put that flap above the space where the 10g are going to go.

I forgot to show you guys what the lid looks like covered with the thermal insulation

I am sure will work better than a reflector as all the lights bounces around and should give even light across the tank.

I told you about the two ball bearing draw runners here is a picture of it extended to turn the flap into a small table one on each side.

As you can see I have attached some temporary string to grab onto to pull the hinge out but will replace with thin brown rope.

Stocking could be a nice group of Neons or some kind of tetra and some nice Apistogramma trifasciata they are a nice fish. You could put some cories in there and a nice variety too. Panda, Bronze, Peppered, Emerald, Neon (expensive though)

 

[Fastfossil]

Apistogramma trifasciata look like they could eat other fish
I have a cory in my 10 gallon they nice

 

[Jason7894561230]

Yeah corys are nice

 

[mandy2936]
