303travism's office build

[303travism]

Well some of you know me and the ones that don't I hope to get to know you! I've been out of the scene for a bit but I'M BACK!!!
Tank: 21 gallon acrylic 22"x21"x12"
Refugium: approx 40gal acrylic
Light: 120watt Evo 20k
Return pump: aquatic life 873gph
Stock: I would like to go with 2 designer clowns and a melanurus wrasse.

It will be an open top but I think I will cut a piece of acrylic to put on the top when I go home from work to help prevent suicides. I am having the stand built by our neighbors at work I can't remember the name of the material that he is using but it is waterproof I will get more info for you guys and feel free to ask questions and advise is always welcome and needed at times! Planning on running bare bottom.

Just a little up date having my stand built out of Medix it's waterproof not sure if I'm going to paint it I want to see what it looks like when it's all done. If anyone has any experience with Medix please chime in I'd like to know if you liked it or not.

Hey Travis,

What is Medix?

Lol Jerry said the same thing! I conveniently had surgery and could only watch him move it. I'm pretty sure the wheels blew out a while back

 

[kmellon]

Thanks. I haven't heard of it before. Is it 2x4 stock or material you would skirt your frame with?

Ok guys and gals the wood came in earlier this week and they have been building it this week and The stand should already be done so i will be able to start the actual build on Monday!!!
I was talking with one of the guys about the wood and said the best way to make this wood look good is as he called it is "skateboard stain" it so I'm probably going to go with a light black stain where you will still be able to see the grain I will post up a bunch of pics on Monday!!!

Here's the stand they have to move the lower hinge up cause I had them build it tight and the lower hinge in in the way of the sump but other than that I'm really liking it the hinges they used are slow closing so they will never slam shut and scare my fishies!
