265 Gallon Cichlid tank (Oak stand)

That’s not a fishtank…..it’s a small ocean!

I Like it….good job..did you seam the glass yourself or just do the stand?....I need a DIY big tank to drain my pond and put my koi in that is out front of the cabin for the winter…nice job..

My friend has a tank that big. He would put me to work if he saw that. Great job, super.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

dang! that’s some fish tank!
great looking stand.

...and I’d never get anything done at home if I had that to watch all day!

Welcome to Lumberjocks Jack. Naustic? Rustical? Either way it’s great. You’ve got to have confidence in your work to put that huge tank on top of the stand huh? By the way, that’s a pretty nice piece of wood under the water too. Is chichlid a kind of fish or something?

That’s holding a ton of water, and looking good.

Is this your first aquarium?

No I did not make the tank, Just the stand and hood
Yes Chiclids are fish

1972 was the year I was born

oh man 265 gals. I had a hundred gal on a short stand that I built that ran along the railing in the front room I loved sitting and tipping a few beers and watch those fish for hours, very relaxing. Went to move and broke the bottom, traded it for some power hand tools, now they have since shot craps and gone I wish I had my tank back I guess you put this one in the basement right? Those floor joice are tough but not that tough. L.O.L. Brought back some good memories Thanks for sharing You do great work.
