As many of you know I picked up and fixed a free 75 gallon tank. You can check it out here.

I tested it for leaks for a few weeks and deemed it safe. With the cold weather coming I needed to get my act together. If I were to park my car in the space the tank was taking I needed to find a few things so I kept my eyes peeled. I found a 5' by 3' workbench and 4' by 2' fluorescent light fixture that were being tossed out at work. I had to mod the fixture down to 18" wide and I added some extra legs to the bench for some lateral support. I stuck a bottom shelf onto the stand. I still need to make a hood for the light and dress up the bench so it looks good from the TV room. I'm slowly soaking the driftwood as I make further plans.
