    Man I had to edit my first post. I didn't use very good english. I had my kids bounceing off me left and right asking me questions and then texting to 3 people and posting this post. lol I am a master allright. lol /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

    Thanks Craig for the kind words. This was a first for me on something this big. I have made cabnets before, but nothing this large.

    What I charged Chris or what it would cost to build another one. lol I work with everyone on price and try to make it work into there budget with in reason. I charge upfront cost of materials and then at the end when I deliver I get paid when person is happy. I have been tipped every build so far, but I DO NOT EXPECT IT AT ALL.

    DIY anything and you don't make a lot of money. You do it for the love of craftmenship and that is it and I wish my wife understood that. lol I really like the Idea of four doors and for a larger tank it would be a must. I think I am leaning towards this on my 220gal tank. I think mine will be built with Pine and painted black just how I like it.



    As far as what this stand ran Chris I will let him tell you if he would like. Tipicaly this stand will run $350 to $500 depending on wood used and if I stain or customer stains/paints.



    Thanks again for the kind words

    Thanks! Thats the easy part man. lol
     
  16. an idea to bounce along with your 4 door idea kyle is a roller tray in the bottom if you would need to remove the sump or for instilation. that would extend out the side halfway? the one in my cabinest in the house i lived in was rubber mounted so it didnt vibrate when the garbage disposal or dish washer was running.


    otherwise i think you do awesome work. but i told ya that at your place when i got teh corals and my wife was cooing over your 90 gal

    I am not sure a roller would be needed. I like the concept, but like I said if you build the stand with some room and 4 doors I don't think it would be needed. I will investegate the idea a little to see what kind of rails would be need to move that wieght.



    Thanks for the kind works Josh. I like the look of your tank also. Hope all is well
