alright, i guess it's time for me to throw some of the photos onto one thread.
after struggling with a 12g tank with an old canister filter, i decided to set up a more realistic setup that wouldn't require DAILY maintenance. anyways, found an acrylic 60x18x20 tank for cheap, and started the build.
I was trying to decide between welding up a frame, or building it out of wood. the decision was made for me when my cousin started tearing out her room for remodel. the stand is made of re-purposed 2x4 DF
fast forward to frame basically done
found a 40g tank to use for a sump, here's the sump and the tank as bought
i intentionally made the stand tall so i can see it at a bar-stool level
threw the stuff going down into the stand in, just to check for clearance
