matt440 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi guys, new to the forum and to freshwater fish in general. I had a fairly successful reef tank a few years back, but life got in the way amd I parted it out. Gave up the hobby for a few years after that. I have recently been given a tank which has reignited my interest, but I have decided to give freshwater a go this time. I need to build a stand for this tank, and im looking at using galvanized RHS as a frame. Im just after some ideas on how to sheet the outside after the frame is built. I was hoping to go a high gloss finish, with doors in the front. Do I just sheet with mdf and then finish it all in an automotive 2pac, or is there a simpler solution? Its a relatively odd shaped tank, so I dont think there would be too much off the shelf available. I'd just give it a miss and track down a nice 4 footer but it just fits where it is going perfectly, so id like to persevere if its feasible. Heres a quick pic anyway, excuse the state its in, I just dug it out of my mums shed. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

lgw Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 What are your plans for stock? Looks like those dimensions might limit what you can have in there, unless the pic is deceiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
