150 Gallon Build Thread ... From the Start


Thank you very much aquaholic - all set to go now! Ordered the 150 from the LFS and getting ready to build the stand / canopy. I do, however, appreciate your assistance and participation in our thread!
 
Progress: We went ahead and ordered the 150 tank with the black seams. She estimates 4 weeks....

It's time to build the stand and canopy. My neighbor's (the one with the wood shop) wife is gone for 10 days to Hawaii - perfect (lol)!....

:headbang2:!!!!!

LOL re: his wife being in Hawaii. Nice that you have a skilled and cordial neighbor to fall back on. My neighbor is beyond a Tool......
 
I wanted to shout out a quick thank you to everybody who has participated in this build thread already, including Vader, BK, 12 Volt, Racer, Matt (Teeds404), Star Rider, Aquaholic (sweet name - BTW), AquaParadise, and H3D as well as all the many others who have viewed.

This entire project is 1000% more fun with all your feedback and encouragement. I really appreciate it and am excited about what's next!!

Keep it coming ...
 
Congrats on the order COY:) and good luck with that canopy and stand:) I thought about it myself and even drew it out and checked out home depo on all material, but then I woosed out at the very end. Didnt think I could build one good enough to be proud of it standing in my livingroom:) even though I build the house. Funny ha.

my nickname, since you mentioned it, came frome my first boat that I bought with the decal (aquaholic) and then a year later I bought an SUV with the same decal:) came to like it that way:)
 
Congrats Coy! Building a stand and hood I find to be quite fun. Also you get exactly everything you want out of it. Now are you going to attempt to copy the stand from aquaglass (I think thats the one from our LFS) or are you going completly off on another tanget and going to make yours from the ground up?
