Aquariam stands

Project by eisner95 posted 503 days ago 229 views 1 time favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I always enjoyed keeping fish and always liked built in tanks. I thought this way i wouldnt have to tear apart the walls and i could make a nice piece of furniture. The smaller one was mine and the bigger one i built as a gift.

Very nice idea, they look better than what you see in the stores.

Nice-looking stands. I thought about building a top for some of mine but I’m probably going to get rid of them.

I’ve thought about getting an aquarium, and building one of these would be the perfect excuse to do it. Great job!

Very cool. What kind of frame construction are you doing underneath that? I’m getting ready to design a stand/cabinet for my smallish (20G) reef aquarium, so I’d love to hear how other people are doing it. =)

That is a really good idea! I have a 20, 29 & 75 gallon tank. I might just consider doing something like that.

An idea, try painting the back of your aquaiums with Krylon Plastic/rubber spray. I find it beats trying to put on those paper backings.

These are nice stands. I have one of these on my to do list as well. I really like the idea of enclosing the tanks in a piece of furniture like this.

Well done.
