Well- after about 2.5 months with a 4' 120, I realized that I will never be happy with only a 4' tank.
Here are some photos of the progress. The stand is complete & will be going to a cabinet builder buddy of mine for the doors & to be finished tomorrow. Sump should be done by today.. I will post photos when I get it completed. The 120 is sold, the new owner & I are supposed to to do the swap out next weekend...
Frame:
Stages of adding the floor & the trim:
Trim
Side door for sump access
Opposite end for possible door in the future. Plywood for now is just a placeholder. Stand done.
Adding in electrical & lighting: I found that electrical strip at Lowes. 10 well spaced outlets with room inbetween for DC Xformers, timers, etc. - $24.99
Need a label maker to identify what is being powered. This item alone is awesome. My 120 stand is a rat's nest of cords, hoses, etc..
