awesome carpentry, I have the Kreg pocket jig that makes the same kind of screw pockets, I LOVE that thing... I never could make cabinet doors, I suck at routing... looks awesome.. what kind of wood did you use?

I like that size tank too, depth (front-to-back) is nice.

Thanks for the compliments.

That $5.00 pocket screw tool can really make anyone look good.

The wood is clear select pine (radiata).

Sweet work you've done there. Can't wait to see it all set up, and you know we are drooling over the tank also. :wink:

When do you want that tort frag? I can hold it but can't promise i won't lose it becasue of my snails.. Things are lost in my tank if not glued down. I could also break it again. I broke my piece again by accident. Anyway let me know if you want me to hold it or get it to you. The stand looks good and the measurements of that tank are nice. I'd like my tank to be a little wider.

Thanks All. Hopefully I will have some pictures of the canopy underway over the weekend.

Drew, Give me a call, I will take the frag anytime you can get it to me. Let me know if you do not still have my number.

HAHAHA, man, we need a "drunken posting" filter on here... like a breathalyzer attachment for a PC :)

Awsome!

Is that a DIY tank, or who made it?

Tank is made by Ocean View in Mississippi.
