DIY HOB fuge

[jgf86123]

i need some ideas for a DIY HOB fuge for my 20 long, my gf has decided that it will be set up as well, at some point, why let a tank go to waste, you know? so, i need some ideas for a DIY HOB refugium, or should i just drill it and build another stand for it?

give me lots of ideas here people, please, im idea'd out at the moment an need some help LOL

if you want, give me some ideas for the type of tank it should be, no cold water, please, not at this time LOL

go crazy here folks, go crazy LOL

or i could just turn it into my frag tank and keep the 30 as my full out DT

what do you guys think i should do here?

what would you do if you had a 20 long, did pretty decent wood work, and your gf/fiance/wife/significant other was ok with you setting it up?

go nuts folks

To many bunns in the oven, finish the 30b and then see what ya want to do with the tank. I've tried doing the duel setup on a budget and it doesn't work, concentrate on one and get it done then start the other. If ya don't you will cut corners trying to get them both done and in the end you will spend more $ doing them right. Experience has taught me that.

Oh and ya I would make the 30b your display! the depth is so nice.

[jgf86123]

oh, the 30b is getting set up first, regardless LOL im so close to setting it up, no point in starting another build now lol

Cool, do ya have any progress pic's? Ya know we all like seeing the pic's.

[jgf86123]

Yeah, what little bit there is, tell ya what, tomorrow, ill take lots of pics and break down the entire build in one big thread, its time to redo my build thread anyway lol

[jgf86123]

do i have any more ideas out there guys? im sure you guys can come up with something, i need something to look forward to doing once i finish the 30 breeder lol

I have always thought it would be kinda cool to set up another tank of the same size next to the display as a fuge and display it as part of the display too. With some livestock and all the pod's swimming around I find it kinda interesting to watch.
