12" Cube tank finished

[xeon]

I finished my 12" cube project last night.  I built the tank out of cast 1/4" and the hood and rear sump are glossy black.  I'm pretty happy with how it came out.  

 

All I have left to do is finish the lighting and get a small pump.  I gave it to my daughter for her birthday today.  She seemed pretty happy with it.  We are going to discuss what she wants to keep.  Without further adieu....

Looks sweet!  Great job!:D

 

So, you ready to build me a 750+ now?

[Guest Amber Nussbaum]

That looks awesome! Where did you get the acrylic and how much did it run you to build that? I'm thinking about building a small tank like that to house a frogfish or a leaf scorpionfish.

Outstanding.  Do NOT look too closely at my sump pictures.  You will find sloppy edges, glue runs, etc. :p

 

Yours looks stellar.  Maybe you can share how you cut and glued your project up?  Would love to know more...

Nice work! That cube looks really good.

Dave looks like you have added all the pertinent changes I would have made to a nano cube. You are really trying to get me out to the hinter land to visit and see your main tank and this as well. Are you coming to the symposium? I wasn't till I got the guilt trip about not bringing some frags and macro to share at the frag sawp, because so many have shared with me. Only portion worth anything for me. We are doing a car pool from Eddi's again if you are interested.

Regards,

Lee

Erik, I have been meaning to send you an e-mail.  I'm glad you saw the tank though.  The table saw was indespensable for this whole project.  Thank you again.  

 

Lee, and all, I have just been slammed as of late.  I am working on a write up of the project per Steve's earlier question and Amber's question on cost.  At some point expect something, LOL.  The tank isn't even set up yet, the only thing I have done was to put some dead rock in my other system to liven up.    

 

I don't think I will be able to make the symposium as my next month is booked with travel and other obligations.  We will have to get together sometime soon though, maybe someone will have another food making party in a month or so?

You need to add your logo to that ;>)  Looks great.
