Jay it looks great. Are you going to do a hood like the old tank? good to see you back at it

 

[jayinh]

not sure on how the hood will play out, probly 3 doors and front/top will hinge up. i will probly do t5 lighting for a short time until funds are available for a full blown LED build.

too funny, im looking for a sump. LOL

Let me know what size you are looking for. I have a couple tanks if one fits the bill you are more than welcome to it.

 

[J.Rocknuts]

It was nice to meet you Jay! we will have to do some swapping once we are both up and going with the new tanks!!!

 

[Flame Angel]

Gee, sort of sounds like Jay needs to make one of the monthly meetings and do a demo presentation.

On how to build a great!, terrific!, strong, stand that looks like a millions dollar piece of living room furniture.

I am not being sarcastic for once in my life, but quite serious. I have seen some of Jay's work.

Well board? What about soliciting Jay's expertise? How much arm twisting will it take?

 

[jayinh]

LOL i am willing to do it if people want me too! i can help in any way possible.

Nice stand! Looks great in white too. Is it staying white or is that primer?

My stand is rough built, I hope to start work to finish mine in the next week or two. Some nice ideas here.

 

[jayinh]

the stand was finished using poplar wood, then a first coat of diluted primmer applied followed by two more coats of primer and top coated with 3 coats of semi gloss paint. it looks white but its actually a off white/beige color.

WOW.......good job. some serious skills you go there!

[gweston]

wow. that stand will be here long after we go extinct

 

[jayinh]

ok heres the latest, i found a 40 breeder and got most of the sump built. it will have 2 filter socks with a diverter valve for changing those dirty socks out , i ordered a couple float switches for the DIY ATO, i still need a eheim 1262 return pump and a few misc. items. the tank just fits in the area...kinda like it was planned, but it wasn't

 

[Fishcull]

Wow. Loving everything about this build.... I am currently looking for a 40 gallon sump as well. A build to watch for sure.

 

[jayinh]

thanks, i found it very hard to locate a used 40 breeder, i missed the petco $1 a gallon sale and have been kicking myself since.

 

[aquafarmer]

Love those moldings!

 

[J.Rocknuts]

This build is better then most suspence movie's cant wait to see what jay does next!

 

[jayinh]

LOL stay tuned for the BIG cliff-hanger.........
