DUKE62 NEW 180 UPGRADE BUILD :o

[duke62]

Well this build is going to have to go on the shelf for awhile How long can a empty tank sit in a garage before i need to be worried about the silicone? Probably not going to be set up till sometime after the summer or longer

You should be fine duke

 

[duke62]

Anyone feel like doing a bit of carpentry this weekend? Will buy beer and have a BBQ

 

[Tonyscoots84]

If you were closer :arg:

 

[duke62]

Yeah finding it hard to get guys to help. Once I get the stands built all I need is the glass to build my sump and I can begin.

Nice of them to help you out!!

 

[duke62]

Thanks still dont know if i should add 2 more legs? Going to have my carpenter friend stop by during the week and see if he thinks it can handle 4 legs or add 2 more

 

[doorag1]

just wanna tag along see how this turns out gl with all of it man

 

[duke62]

So i figured out what i want the tank stand to look like. I am going to make it look like a colonial fireplace with cherry wood trim along with wood. I am then going to put a electric fireplace underneath. As for the canopy its going to have the faux stone. Its going to look incredible Going to take a long time to look the way i want it but its going to be hot. Frame is pretty much done. All i need to do is figure out how big the elecrtic fireplace will be and add 2 front legs.
