This doesnt appear to be your first tank > where are some of your other build threads? Your stand will open on three sides? Thats dedication. Are you planning on using any sound dampening material?

This doesnt appear to be your first tank > where are some of your other build threads? Your stand will open on three sides? Thats dedication. Are you planning on using any sound dampening material? No this is my third actually. I built a 90G DT w/ a 40B sump. Friend came by and bought it first thing. Then I decided to build a 40B-DT w/ a 40B Sump posted on a forum and was offered more than I paid so I sold that one but this my friend is my pride and joy this cube isn't going anywhere. Yes the stand will have 3 doors so I can remove or get in to my sump anytime at any angle. Dedication you say but I say prepared for the future of this hobby. Who knows what I will be adding or removing. And I don't plan on using anything for noise. I don't think there is a need for it.

SaltCube Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 So after dinner I decided to head out and finish the doors and light tree and hanging kit for the Radion.For the door handles I used some rope cleat dock ties. Thought it fitted the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
