New 60 gallon cube

[Izek]

After my trip to Waikiki I wanted to start a new tank since I took down my 75g long. I went to the LFS and got a steal deal on a 60g cube this is going to be in my room it's a great fit so I rushed home and then picked up some tools and wood to start on my stand was going to make it out of 1x2 but I sow that I didn't need that much wood and went with a sheet of plywood I think am getting better at my wood working skills.

Looks clean..good job on the wood work...are your doors going to be inset or overlay?

Looks good. Why not consider doing this as a side job?

I'll check them out but would need some thin ones because the wood is not that thick it's about 3/4 I believe

How do you like that portercable kit? I'm thinking of picking up one today to start construction on my boa's new enclosure. Also what are you using for those angled holes?

Stand looks great BTW. I'd love to see that Koi pond when its all filled too.
