I always wanted a 3D printer but have yet to pull the trigger.I love the diy aspect of this hobby. I've been on the edge re. getting into 3d printing to support my various diy pursuits. Seems like a big can of worms to open though.

I did think about that, the original stand was made from it and I painted it with marine grade/boat paint to help prevent any issues. I also plan on sealing all the seams with caulk for the same reason.looking great! any concerns with using compressed fiber board for the cabinets with all the humidity and moisture!
Looks sharp. nice workFor the past few days I have been fighting the plumbing battle, with multiple trips to the hardware store for more plumbing parts but today I finally wrapped it up.

Here is a very short video of both sides of the plumbing.
The one thing I like to do with rock work is make sure I start building up from the glass as opposed to the sand. I do this just in case I get a critter that likes to dig so that it can't move the sand under the Rock, possibly causing things to shift. I've never used the cement so that may solve the problem right there.so here is my progress, I made as many shelfs as I could with some of the cool rocks I was able to get. i may have left to much open sand bed but I may add some other island type pieces of rockwork in the future.

The base rock is on the glass, then I poured the sane around it to keep it in place. I also wanted to make sure i got enough sand behind the rock that is why i went this route.The one thing I like to do with rock work is make sure I start building up from the glass as opposed to the sand.

Thank you, that is one reason I really liked the depth of this tank. A ton of open water swimming areas and open sand bed.Loving that rockscape so much. That much open space up front leaves you with so many options down the road for frags or coral islands. Awesome design overall.
glad I could save you some aggravation and $$A special shout out to @Cpage101 for the tip on the joint saver I have pressure tested the plumping….
I am good to go! The tank is filling up which will take a few days but that will give me time to route all the wiring.
I don’t think I will be able to make the room to probably display everything but I will do my best.
A couple are 22.5, I needed them because of how tight everything under the tank was.That all looks great. Are there 12.5 degree elbows in your plumbing?
