kelp Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Let me know what you think of my stand/hood. Me and my wife had a blast building it. All #2 spruce, completely assembled with screws, minwax ebony stain and 4 coats of poly. Cost was right at $100. We think it all came off pretty well. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Cool Kelp, looks good! Do you plan to place a sump in it for your tank? Or just use it for storage? Link to comment
kelp Posted July 7, 2002 Author Share Posted July 7, 2002 Just planning on storage for right now. If I eventually try a bigger tank I will probably give a sump a run. Link to comment
HuBu Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 is that blue glass you used? the stand and hood looks good. can you take close up pics of the hood? Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Oh wow... that stand looks amazing! Link to comment
ladyamanda Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 It's absolutely beautiful! Love it. Any change you could post a scematic/plans for those of us who are carpentry challenged? Link to comment
kelp Posted July 7, 2002 Author Share Posted July 7, 2002 Thanks for the positive comments. I'll see if I can get my original drawings on here. It really wasn't very complicated and we did everything with a handheld drill, a circular saw and jigsaw, no fancy equipment necessary. The most nervewracking part was probably cutting the glass for the doors, but then again it was only $10 for the two pieces of glass. Link to comment

mysk Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Looks good I did A DIY Canopy was really easy to build, (easier than I thought) Link to comment
lizbeth Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 That looks great, I like the color. Are you planing to ad trim to cover the bottom plastic on the tank? That would really finish it off beautifully. Link to comment
