wvreef December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 Ok I am in the process of upgrading my wifes 46 gallon bow to a 90 gallon....I will be posting all of my build on this so bear with me this might take some time to complete....I will be drilling the 90 and installing a 1500gph kit from glass holes for my sump...I will also be building my own stand for this as well....so any advise you can give me would be great as i am not sure of the sump size and what all i am going to do yet.....

wvreef December 24, 2011 Author Share December 24, 2011 Ok I have got the stand shell finished...going in the am to get my wood to finish the outside wil post some pictures of the shell... well it is not much but I think it will hold my wifes 90 gallon tank up... all 2x4 on the floor with two 2x4 nailed together to make an L shape on all four corners, top consists of 2x8 syp this will allow me around 30 inches under the stand for my skimmer and sump.... I will be using t&g pine wood for the floor where the sump will go and the outsides of the stand as well...will be getting cabinet doors for the front of the stand...
