LC Scott Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well after my plans to build the stand for my 55Gal tank went south I decided to do something constructive rather than be bored/pissed off. I decided it would be constructive to work with so of the materials on the overflow box. This is what I came up with. A couple of pics. After the silicon set I put on some eurobracing. Fixed the water leak. I was thinking of drilling the tank and puting a water lifter into it for water flow. Just one question. Is this stand overbuilt? (whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold B Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well by the time you get sand and rock I think you will want some cross bracing so it doesnt tumble!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I love this little tank!!! You should get some LED for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Scott Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think I have a LED book light floating around here that I could hack apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Scott Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Gill, I think you just created a monster. I was already looking at it and trying to figure out if I could drill it. So I could use a aqua-lifter as a power head. Build a stand to hide that in, make a led that looks like a MH (at lest on the outside) and plum a skimmer in line. I wounder just how small I can make one. Just what I needed, another project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Scott Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 I drilled the glass on it and now have some air running into the water about half way up the glass. I need a aqua lifter to move some water around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
