I believe I must repeat Gary's earlier statement, WOWZA! I might have fun in my bedroom(sorry no chains & whips, just cuffs & lube) but I don't take photos & if I did I wouldn't post them here. I think they should be posted on one of those fetish sites, won't somebody please think of the children! hahaha

[Timmeh]

Okay guys and girls!

So I've decided to do a few smaller updates instead of a massive one. As I do have quite a few photos!

Firstly this all came about as I always wanted to get a setup done for this spot in my room and so i decided to do a custom breeding setup to make it all fit in a particular space in my room.

Tank is roughly 1565 Length X 400 High X 560 Width

So I started building the stand. Went a bit overkill on the stand as the weight from water and soil would equate to a fair amount. So I did extra supports, plus I wanted to make the underneath usable for another tank to do cherries or show guppys/grow plants.

Needed 2 x Base and Top

As you can see I have put on the 6 legs on so far but I will also be doubling up as the legs so far are more supports rather than holding the load of weight to be applied.

Applied a Sheet of Mdf to level out the surface before I put foam down to then put the tank onto.

As you can see I have added the main supports

Test fitted the tank on the bare stand.

Now I know you guys wont like this but I didn't take photos of me doing the flooring of the stand or of putting the trimmings on. But here is a photo once painted.

The trimming does not go all the way around as the space I have to put this into I need it to sit flush to make it look really presentable and get that little bit of extra space.

Cab and Tank were moved into place

5ft Light picked up from a LFS. Cost me $0 =]

Was going to do 2 doors that would just pop on and pop off so I could have one side underneath for gear and equipment and the other side for a future tank. But decided to just use one whole length. This is obviously just a testing photo.

Keep posted for the next update! Hopefully before the weekend ;)

[Robert]

[Robert]

Filtration was posted in Tims first thread.

Eheim 2213 running water from one end to the other and 5 x twin sponge filters.

[Garnelchen]

Looks really good! :encouragement:

I wish my husband would stop building boring things (like walls and bathrooms and stuff) and build cool tank setups instead!

I'm really jaloaus! :crushed:

[newbreed]

Awesome setup. Great work.

[Timmeh]

As rob stated. 2213 running inlet first tank to outlet in last tank and 1x twin sponge filter in each tank. All will be explained in the next installment haha

[ninja]

Nice work on the cabinetry, Timmeh. As I said before just a bit Sus. On only one hole in the tanks for water flow?

You can come and build my stands anytime.

[MrShrimp]

What a nice place to put the tank. Can't wait to see the project finish and running.
