flowerseller March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Oh you didn't really think I was talking about that did you?

flowerseller March 25, 2009 Author March 25, 2009 I was talking about my new tank enclosure. Bob (ybe) and I have been working on completing the oak facing to build my tanks into the wall. Once we got the facing done and I finished sanding, Sonya went to work. She stained all the face plates and the 14 doors in Golden Oak to bring out the beautiful wood grain in the oak we used. Then she started each morning putting a coat of polyurethane on several pieces, putting a second coat on around 4:00 and a third coat on before sleeping. She got up and did it all over again until we had three coats on all fronts and backs of everything. It looks awesome. Here's a few pics before: A few during: A few after it was up: It is so sweet and we are so happy. Thanks to ybe's awesome wife for letting him have this much fun working with wood.
HowardofNOVA March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Hey Mr Limpet, Wall unit looks great! Justin, heading your way!
extreme_tooth_decay March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Looks fantastic. PS Did you include a thong drawer in the design?
jnguyen4007 March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Needless to say, Bob (Ybenormal) did it again. He once again outdone himself. The proof is definitely in the pudding. The man is truly a master wood craftsman.
MLazar March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Chip and Bob, Beautiful job, truly. What are you keeping in the 2 smaller side tanks? How much room do you have behind the tanks, is it a room? Love this look, can't wait to see it all done and stocked.............. hoping for a tank tour. Bob - you have a wonderful talent.
Bendalat March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Very nice Chip. We need some pictures with the lights on. Khanh,
zoozilla March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Great "Hard Wood" Finish there Chip Kudos Ybe. Notch another successful project.
jstlsn March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Chip Very nice. You work fast. Can't wait to check it out in person. Brad
flowerseller March 25, 2009 Author March 25, 2009 Very nice Chip.We need some pictures with the lights on. Khanh, Thanks, I tried but the reflection filled seeing the cabinetry.
flowerseller March 25, 2009 Author March 25, 2009 I have 6 feet of bi fold doors behind the main tank so access is not much of an issue. The top holes are for venting that is not complete yet. We also have to put a few moldings around the edges. It really sets the room off.
Gadgets March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 I'm a true reefer cause when i saw the title i immediately thought about the stand and canopy coverings.
NAGA March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Wow Chip, that presents very well and having been over there in the past and now seeing those pictures make me think that is quite a sight to see in person.
SkiCurtis March 25, 2009 March 25, 2009 Man Chip that looks like a sweet set-up. What a woodworking Master BOB. Great job! Curtis
