30g Rimless (1 Viewer)

[cbwaters]

Hello everybody, I've been on TCMAS for awhile but really haven't said much, just reading and learning. My wife and I have had a tank up and running for awhile with limited softies and some fish. We recently had a renewed intrest in the hobby and our tank (55g) is doing awesome! I have a 120RR that I had started to build awhile back but ran out of time and money. So here I am starting a build but not the 120, I've decided to build a DB 30g Rimless(24x24x12) set up. It was just supposed to be a grow out and transfer tank while I build my 120RR. Well...it's turning out to be a little more than that, I couldn't just slap together a makeshift tank since all the space I have is in the open and I don't care to have some jalopy tank hanging around lookin like a turd! Here's a couple of pic's of the stand I'm building, I'm still waiting on the tank but is supposed to be here Wednesday! I can't wait!

Wow, I like that stand! Nice job!
Are you able to take the sides off if you need to remove the sump?

 

[cbwaters]

Thanks! I usually work with metal not wood but it's turning out pretty nice. The right side has a towel knob that you lift up on to take off the side, like in the second picture.

You gonna stuff all your zoas in there?

 

[cbwaters]

That's right! You have some you want to donate! Might have to dabble in SPS/LPS when everythings up and running, need to get my learn on though.

Thanks! Still trying to figure out a cool way to hang it without making it look boring.
