Any fun projects in the hopper?

We are adding a 55gal barrel refugeium to our 40 before building it into the wall.

 

I picked up 125 from ac&c a few weeks ago. Building a stand with a plywood structural skeleton w/ cherry facing, crown, and trim w/ maple inlays on side and doors. Base is non integral to stand so to allow leveling on the fly. Stand is done, needs laqure and doors made. Last night I started welding the sump together. Making an hdpe sump with acrylic windows. Hdpe is fractions the price and far more durible than acrylic. Cons: not see through and its a thermo plastic so must be welded. A 4x8 sheet of 1/4" is 55 at Menard's. Probably cheaper from a plastic warehouse. I'd post pictures of it all but don't have a place to archive the photos.

 

Here we go

 

Very nice stand abower :0)

 

Very Nice piece! It will be great to see once it is all stained up!

The 55 barrel is on its way together. I have fabricated a lid of plexi, ad have prep'ed the area. Now just need to drill through the floor and install the thing and fill it! Nothing like Adding 55 gallons to a system to keep things nice and easy!
