chronic Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 A couple pics of my stand and canopy. I'm proud of them, I never do any wood work so I was pleased. And then my canopy. I wanted to make it as light as possible, yet pretty sturdy. Seems good now, cats jump on it all the time. Plus its easy to remove, my old tanks canopy was made from 3/4" ply wood and weighed sooo much! I'm happy with it, all except for the angry oscars. They didn't like the move too the new tank, I hope they calm down soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 lol, i know otherwise but it looks like the O's are either smiling or laughing to me. nice work on the stand and canopy! now you just need to fashion some doors/paneling on the stand.

chronic Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Lol Never noticed how it does look like they're laughing. Yeah I should finish the stand! It would be nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesmo Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 What size of tank? Im doing a stand right now too. Just need more supplies and I can finish it. Looks like a nice setup Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronic Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Its a 120g. I am regretting buying it now though instead of the 125g which would have been a foot longer, but I am thinking of my oscars and having more room to run around. When it comes to looks, the 120g is nicer since its so much taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesmo Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 and easier to place in a room. Long tanks arent as good looking in my opinion either. I like a taller tank when the height will get used Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nice work Chronic. That looks like it's plenty sturdy and should last you a long time. I really like the oak facing on the canopy too. hats a nice wide piece you found. Any plans on covering the stand with oak too?
