As long as you don’t mount that ugly thing on tank directly.... I see a metal arm extending from this cool stand with matching “canopy” thingy over this tank. It would make it a show stopper for sure. But I get it, all this crap takes time. PS when you decide to get rid of this tank, I want THAT STAND !🤗 2 Quote Link to comment

Easy peasy, and pretty cheap all things considered. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

No mounting on the tank as the fugly filter is in the way And shipping that stand to NY would be expensive...…….plus the stand matches my 100 stand theme so...…..may have to keep it for a while. 45 minutes ago, Lingwendil said: +1 I would use 3/8" cast iron pipe fittings, a couple elbows, a couple caps, some straps to attach it to the back of the stand, and some some pipe.

Thought about trying to pull the arm off but its just not worth it. but in the end may just do that. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well, if you decide that you don't need it anymore or have time to put together exactly the same thing, we can work something out. Very nice work and I do appreciate that kind of industrial craftsmanship. That HOB thingy is really depressing. It's not "old school", it's dumb school. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
righttirefire Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Easy peasy. The older modes wires attach in controller with a jam screw. My dou was a gooseneck, but now its a hanging dou. 2 Quote Link to comment
