jeremoose Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Hey all, for those of you who went to the auction you probably noticed the 60g home-made tank with 3 sides shower glass and the front pane view-able. I got this thing for 24$!!! It just needed resealed so I resealed it yesterday and tonight after work I whipped up the stand and a plexi-glass lid. Reseal Successful, used GE Silicone 1. Dirty plexi fitted. Completed stand, first time working with oak sheeting. Hopefully by this time tomorrow I'll be updating with pictures of it in it's new location. Thanks for looking. EDIT: if the stand looks low, that's because it IS. It's only 27 inches high, I wanted it to be low enough for my youngest daughter (who can be seen photo-bombing in the first picture) could easily see in.

Vallisneria Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I've also had a plexiglass top bend. It would droop inwards so I just flipped it each week. Attaching some type of bracing will stop that.Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okotoks Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 That looks real cool. Would look good with angel fish and tall Val growing in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
