Well? Spec's? Details? Or is this just a "Yay me!" thread? :laugh: Looks good!

[jordonsmum]

Sure.... only , it's my first DIY so I'm not so sure what I should post about it?? ummmm it's a 45 gal aquarium. 4ft long. The base is built with 2 x 6's and the body of 2x4's. There are 10,000 screws....LOL just in case... and just a typical flourescent strip light (shop light) for now until I can afford to get into the "big kids sand box" with lighting.

hmmm what else???

Did you use a pattern or just wing it?

I'm just gving you a hard time. I admire such handy hands! I couldn't build something if I tried. I've seen how my knitting turns out. :rolleyes:

One of the folks on the local forum posted a photo of his for me so I could get an idea of how to build one before I got started. It was VERY helpful!! I took his and tweaked it a little and made a "girlie version". LOL
