Muddy357 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 (edited) Well I am finally starting my build thread for the new tank. The tank is a NAGA built 90 gallon rimless 36x24x24 I love these dimensions! I made the modifications to the stand to make it sturdier. Extra support beams added. Cut the hole in the top for the plumbing as well as added a back beam for more support. Tank on the stand in my living room. Here is all of the rock I have for this build. Edited February 3, 2013 by Muddy357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
