This has been my biggest project.
From a woodworking perspective, it was not overly difficult, but fairly large.
I’m very happy with how it all turned out, but would do a few minor things different in the future.

I have a very detailed build of this entire project that can be viewed HERE.

Nice…. I wish we had a spot to upgrade the 30g tank I have for my Angels, but we really don’t.

I don’t have the time anymore for fish keeping and sold all my tanks, but in the future hope to get a big one like that for another saltwater tank.

Nicely done.

Fresh water is actually closer to 8 lbs per gallon. But the tank itself weighs about 300 lbs, and I have about 500 lbs worth of sand and boulders in there. Of coarse that displaces some of the water. So I’m actually sittin at about 2100 lbs On the stand, and another 250 lbs or so for the sump inside the cabinet.
Yup, has to be sturdy all right.
Thanks for looking.
