Frag Tank Build

[Persian]

Well, just turned 38 on Monday so I got myself some gifts lol

I will be updating this thread with pictures as the build progresses. I invite you to come along.

First I must give a shout out to Advanced Acrylics. They made my dream tank come true and even helped me put it on the stand.
Thank you John

Also a shout to fellow member mkindsfather for giving me some insane prices on my Ecotech and Apex devices. You sir are a gentleman and scholar!

Also BluRocket3 for the great advice and amazing Coral! Thanks

Very clean. Where does that panel sit with regard to your system?

The panel is in the front, not a good spot. I'll have to protect it from water somehow!
