Aquarium stand

you forgot to say “and it’s beautiful” !!!!

Great “save” from disaster.

((don’t you just love watching plecostomus’ do their work?? (I have no idea how you spell that but that’s how we used to say the name))

I don’t know how to spell “Plecks-costomus” either. But yeah, they do a great job cleaning the algae. And they grow huge! I saw two at the local aquarium store (this one mentioned in fact) that got to be 4’ long! This one will be transferred to my pond one day. And thanx for the nice comment!

Them’s some big fish! I think they have a neat home. Good work.

in a pond—never thought of that… they probably aren’t “northern” fish though.

You saved $125 and got a better stand. You can’t beat that at all! Plus, you had fun making it and got more woodworking experience along the way. Sounds like a win / win to me.

Functional + Cost Effective=Great Woodworking Project. Nice job, looks great

Every time I see an aquarium I thing of something W C Fields once said…....”Water? Never drink the stuff, fish #&@% in it”.

Great little stand you have there. How do you filter the water….or do you have to with Koi?

-- Brian, Virginia Beach

I did raise 4 Koi awhile back, 3 died due to disease from the damn pet store and the 1 that did live grew so fast (12” in 6 months) that we had to give him away to a local pond. Goldfish and Koi are dirty, or they create a lot of mess in a little time. We use a Aquaclear 70 to filter this tank. I’m in the process of designing/building a pond (35’x15’ and 4’ deep) in the backyard and once that’s functional, I’ll start raising the indoor Koi again. And then I’ll have to join GardenTenders to post those pics!

Please excuse these pics, the flash bleached out the walls and made the water look dirty as well as two tone coloring on the stand.

Very nice looking aquarium stand. I realy like the finish.
