diy stand

Hello TPT! I've been in (and out) of the aquarium hobby for decades, and a few years back I started some planted tanks. I did a dirt tank that did great for some time and I still have a planted tank now. I've been lurking here for a while and I've always been meaning to start a tank journal...

This is my first tank journal. I finally got some time today to post it so I will be back dating the process. I will be using the Dry Start Method (DSM) Equipment: Tank = Aquatop High Clarity Glass 12G Long (HCA-12G) --- Mr Aqua seems to be the most popular of this type of tanks, I don't know...

I wanted to share my first wood working project, a stand for my 15g planted tank, made this over a couple weekends, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

So I'm doing a 75-P and I decided to make my own stand. I'll try and put as many pictures as I can. When planning to do this don't forget to take the thickness of the formica into account. I did it everywhere except for the small front face on the top. I'm sure the only person that sees it is...

Alright guys, So I've been asking questions on here for a while now and I decided to set-up this tank that I already had! SPECS Tank: 2.5G Hex Tank Filter: Red Sea Nano Filter Heater: Hydor Mini Heater 7W Light: 7W Perch Light (Tom Aquatics) Substrate: Sand (boiled and cleaned) Ferts: ??? CO2...
