Ziggy's Nano Build (again)

The tank:

I had my overflow in the side because it was harder to aqua scape with it in the middle so you might want to take that into consideration.

I had my overflow in the side because it was harder to aqua scape with it in the middle so you might want to take that into consideration.

I purposely selected a center overflow. I have an aquascape plan in mind and expect that this will work well for my application.

This overflow provides 17" of surface skimming which is excellent considering the size tank.

So the tank and cabinet made their way into my apartment via magic fairies....

Some quick pics of the tank with canopy and lights on...

One cabinet with tank and canopy in place....

Thanks!!

I really enjoyed building this stand. It was nice to build something again.

I bet a stand like that, with that much detail would be like $800 in my stores. I was looking at a basic black stand for $300 lol You guys and your DIY stuff, I really wish I could do even half of what you did. I'm not being overly nice either, that stand is great.

I think it looks really great!

It looks great! one more thing i would do is make one more piece of trim to cover the bottom black frame on the tank.

Get the water in it already! lol

I already have plans to make a trim piece that will wrap around the tank that matches the cabinet.
