    Default A little something new...

    A work in progress. rsz_20180323_181120.jpg



    Anyone interested in a 135 gallon with 3-D Aquaterra background, dual canister filters, 4 door stand and canopy? Should be up for sale soonish.

    I did get it into the house and on the stand, HEAVY son-of-a-gun! The white on the stand is where I had to remove a trim piece to get the tank onto the stand. Haven't put it back on yet. Next is to figure out the sump or maybe the doors. I want to install hinges instead of just lifting the panels up and out. Oh yeah, it just a little bit bigger than my 135 gallon.

    I'll start an "official" journal soonish.

    How does that canopy open? Is there a hidden hinge at the top?

    There are two front panels that take up the entire length. Those lift up and out. I want to have some kind of hinge(s) on each panel at the top with a self-holding feature. If they opened down I believe they would be more in the way. I think they are too wide to open like a regular cupboard door.

    Thanks to both of you. Yes, I am fortunate to have the space in our home. My current 135 gallon is facing it from the other side of the room and the Discus are just staring at it wanting to know when will they move over there!!! However, I have not been able to find the time to make much progress so for the moment it's holding down that side of the room.

    My home is on a slab, no crawl space or support beams. Thanks though for your concern.
