where are you located?

Did some more work on our new tanks this weekend. I moved my wife's new 20g off of the stand we set up last weekend and relocated it to a bookshelf on the other side of the room, and set up the 40B that I removed from under our 210gal last week. I think the stand looks more complete with two...

Looking into new lights for our 210gal, and at the moment we have 2 Finnex 24/7, and two Planted+ lights on it. I really like what i see in the new Fluval lights that Cory is now carrying at the Co-Op, but am not sure if just two of the largest Fluval lights would be enough to provide enough...

Took down our 30gal and set up two tanks in its place... Ultimately, we will have two 40Bs on the stand, but for the time being, it is a 40B and a 20.

Ive been running the filter since about 7am this morning, and so far no leaks. I have been scratching my head trying to figure out what caused the leak, as before the leak, it had been roughly a month since I broke down the filter last. Ill keep an eye on it carefully for the next few days and...

well, I have no clue what's going on now... I ran the filter for approx 3 hours in a temp configuration on the outside of the 210g, and I could not find any leaks. I have no clue where all of that water came from the other day. This is really starting to baffle me! I'll run it in the same...

no, the plug was verified closed. Its the oddest thing. I am running it now, and have been for roughly an hour, and it seems to be fine. no leaks to be seen. I need to test it longer to see exactly what is going on

Has anyone on here that uses a Fluval FX5 or FX6 had any issues with them leaking? On Saturday afternoon, I came downstairs to find that about 5-10 gallons drained out of my 210g and was flowing onto the carpet. Upon opening up the stand, I was greeted to water on the wood floor of the stand...

Yes, I made a mistake! Corrected now!

We have 3 Orange Flash Apisto pairs that we need to relocate. all are from the same batch, and were hatched around Christmas. I will try and get some photos up soon!

Tank is still available!

That is pretty much what I had in mind, only just not as wide! I think what I have planed will work just fine!

Anyone?

Eh, no worries! I always like seeing what others do for home made stands! it never hurts to show them off for ideas! 2x6s is what I was thinking of for the legs, with 2x4s laid horizontal between them for the supports, creating a box joining all four legs.

That would be easy to do, but sadly I don't have room for cinderblock supports.
