Re: Doc's Shark Tank

I'm not exactly sure about what size the nice finishing wood comes in but one simple way is stealing the visual design of the All Glass Aquarium stands. Get enough 1x4s to go around top and bottom of the stand. Notch out .5x.5 out of the corner (bottom inside for top rail, top inside for bottom rail) to hold in the vertical planking. Then get the .5x(however wide you think looks nice) and mount those under the .5x.5 notch you cut out. Kinda lacking the steps but I hope it gives you the general idea.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

Yea.....sorry about that. Don't use normal nails. I'm used to the insane nails that we use for the wooden fence around the pasture. They don't rust and they don't come out unless you got a 20lb sledge.

You clearly don't know me. I am as handy as a camel. I have no finishing skill what-so-ever. I was thinking about buying some sheets of 1/2 in subflooring or wood paneling of some kind. I just can't see myself cutting notches out of anything. I appreciate your thoughts though. It just isn't me

Doc trade some head shrinking to a local contractor and have them build it for you. Weve got a dentist that trades dental work for remodeling work all the time.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

or you can just buy a 280 galon tank(built in over flows) with a stand and canopy for only about $2000 from glass cages, it would save u alot of work.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

I have not heard good things about All-glass. I like Perfecto better. It is an option though.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

Don't hate on AGA because of my mishap.Still,I would prefer you go with an Oceanic over a Perfecto and AGA though.
