Wazzel's 150 build thread

[Anonymous]

Well here it is. I have finally started.

Recap:

54x26x26 glass tank approx 150 gallons

I am going to try to make this like an index and have the individual parts in their own threads. I'll post some highlights here.

It is going to be a slow process, like most things I do. I am going on vacation this week. After that I will just have the weekends to work on it. Not to mention I still need to head back to Trinidad for 2 weeks sometime in August.

That stand looks a little too clean to be built by an EX-cabinet builder. What fancy tools in that garage are you not telling us about? Very nice job!!!

The stand is a monster. 40" to the bottom of the tank with a 2" lip to cover the black trim. It is not all that heavy. I was able to move (slide) it by myself.

Thanks alot. No fancy tools. I did use all my power hand tools on this. The only thing that might be hidden is the fact that I have lots and lots of patience, and I can see things quite clearly in my mind when it come to putting things together.

The white one is a freezer the beer fridge is to the right just out of the frame. You can see it in the stand thread in the DIY section.
