For a long time I have wanted to do a saltwater tank but I just didn't think I was going to be in the same place long enough or have enough money to undertake the project. For years I had a freshwater tank but in the past year I decided that I wanted to make the switch, little did I know how much time and money it was going to take but I do like the results.
I have a 135 gallon Oceanic RR aquarium with a Oceanic pine stand. The stand had seen better days and I really wanted the tank to look good so with the help of a friend of mine I built a new stand which I think turned out pretty good. The stand as it turns out was made out of 4x4's which was overkill but I guess I don't have to worry about it not holding up to the weight. Before I made the stand I bought a used 55 gallon aquarium that I converted to my sump.
Next I have to build a canopy but I think I have a good start.
