Time for a lil upgrade!

[magik626]

what's up my reefers..
well I been wanting to get a lil upgrade since I cant go to big in tank since I live in a apartment..so after searching for a bit I came across a 68gal euro brace tank drilled (40L x 22W x 18H) with stand for a price I couldn't let go.. but the only thing is the stand is a bit short for my taste so I think i'm going to have to get a stand made or try and build one myself. lol has some minor scratches on the front glass but I heard there is a way to polish them out. the thing is I got to figure out the plumbing for it.. didn't come with a overflow box. well ill stop talking now here is a pictures of the tank, the stand is still in my truck. don't know what to do with it yet. cant wait to set it up..

Stand is clean man! Do the side doors just pop off? Are you gonna make a conduit light hanger?

What's up wali. The doors are held by magnets. And yes I made some hangers with 3/4 Condit. I'll post a picture right now.

 

[magik626]

Magnets where the red arrows are at.

Diy light hangers with 3/4 conduit.
