very nice!! my boyfriend and i are going to attempt building our own some time this summer...probably will start small. as it is we dont have room in our house for anymore big tanks...
That's so disgustingly nice....where do you live again? doesn't really matter but you're hired man lol that is some NICE work; plant that neat & some great fish in there - Ugly how pretty that will turn out....*me dreaming here now*
thanks angel....it consumed alot of weekends and late nights. I am just happy to get the whole thing out of my garage.
I was going to move my plants from my 55G into the 180G, but I have decided to order all new plants. Going to have quite a few different varieties in there.
I can only image...and here I was last year proud like heck building my first own 55g stand (w/out doors lol) that's real nice...but wayyy past my DIY league lol
Oh you have to update pic's when you get that planted I can only imagine how beautiful that'll be *drool*

i didnt make the tank.....but it was custom made for someone else. i got it off craigs, the glass is 1/2" thick and nice and clear. if i told you what i paid for it you wouldnt believe me.;-)
i may place my plant order this weekend, i will have to see how i feel.
stay tuned for more pics.:-D
My hubby FINALLY got his workshop done and the first thing on his to do list is make me a new stand and hood for my 55G. That's black paint right? I want to stain mine really dark espresso.

I used black gloss enamel. I wanted oil based paint to protect from any water spillage.
*update*
I have added plants, driftwood, and some of my rainbow fish to my tank. Tomorrow i plan on installing my moonlights.
Ill try to post some more pics too.
Great idea. If I get my wish with the dark espresso stain, I'll definitely be using some type of a heavy duty waterproofing clearcoat. Updated pics would be great!!
