I've had mine exposed for 2-3 hours, but that was in the summer when the ambient air was warmer- you should be ok for 20 or 30 minutes

and here she is stinking up the basement! Dry baby dry!

Here's how it's gonna sit: and the plan to "finish off" the top piece and trim instead of looking at the plywood layers This way, I have all 25.5 inches of top to work with. Plus, I know for a fact that the tank's plastic edges won't be resting on the wooden trim alone...

Here's the trim pieces being mitred. No one's home, time to make a mess! By the way, I chose to get the primered trim only because it was the cheapest at $0.79/foot Glue application, lots of it! here's the trim all nailed up the "ribbed" trim pieces are for the front corners...

so I came back from Home depot earlier today since the local True Value or Ace hardware stores want double for everything- I guess you pay for convenience :( I got just a little over 12 feet of trim (casing) for the top and bottom $9.48, 4 feet of ribbed molding for the front for $2.08, 6 feet...

SHAAA-WEEEEET I dun' drug the dang stand to the basement to continue paintin' after I dun cut the trim and nail the sucka in! Gotta get this stand up and runnin- the tank's a comin!!! Hope no snow on Sunday, I'm gettin tired of this.... and the whole place smells like oil paint...

this is the S a few weeks ago- she's not goin anywhere! I'm pimpin' the Xterra right now, good thing I got it in this icy mess!

Hey Mike, would you happen to notice the location of the overflow? Is it a corner or the center rear?

I ended up going with the 45 cube Reef ready like yours :) I got tired of chasing custom tank builders who wanted astronomical prices, inability to help me out amongst other inconveniences- besides, Will got me such a great price on the tank (not to mention answering my PM's almost...

:) I'm picking up the tank on sunday, I was gonna go today but this snow's gotta stop already! I'm gonna brave what snow's on the ground right now and run to home depot, I've decided I wanted to trim up the stand to make it look puh-rtier

the most silent of all the ones I've tried- the only noise I hear is the cascade of the water going down in the sump.

pickup via dropoff truck freight by glasscages huh? I wanted to pickup on the 28th too....they never responded to my email for the 28th dropoff. The guy who picked up the phone (he was busy) never returned my call either.... i wanted a 50 gallon rimless tank too *shucks*

How about a stockman standpipe? it's like a modified standard standpipe. It's been on the tank for almost 4 years now and only had to clean it once because I don't like to clean! http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=535632&perpage=25&pagenumber=19

the tank is in!!!!! AqOb is awesome!!!!

I hope that helps explain a little bit, I've never been good at explaining stuff, but I can build them with no problem. I guess that's why my buddy building the sump kept asking me you want me to do it how?!? And then? And then? Could you send me plans to follow?

No, it's 20.5 think of the construction this way: Bottom piece sits flat on the table front panel stands up and slides against the bottom. Glue. Rear panel does the same. The side panel stands up and slides toward the structure. Glue. Thin strip of acrylic goes on top of the side panels. 2"...

I got a little confused myself after looking at the plans- I'm sorry guys... The side panels actually glue from the outside, and there is a little brace (like euro-brace) that I will be requesting to be placed on top as a lip, just on both ends. I forgot to add that in the plans since they...

I ended up having to resort to plan B today. The cold and stain were just not cooperating, I ran up to the hardware store again and bought myself a small can of oil based gloss black paint to apply onto the stand. I also bought a disposable brush since I would only need one coat of paint...

:) still have to come to terms a friend's building a sump for me. here's the plans, and he also has access to 1/4 inch plexi.... It's gonna be a tight squeeze under the stand of this cube! I figured the simpler the better, I downloaded google sketchup but it was just too fancy for me-...

You should throw in the settings you used and the equipment Olivier Nice pics!
