How long do you project to get up and running.

Don't know. I am hoping by the end of June but I need to be real too. I will using the sump as a temp home for my fish at home since I need to clear my family room to replace the carpet with wood. The sump is clean the vinegar was the way to go. Once I get the tank I will need sand and polish it in and out. I will be practicing on either the bottom or the back. I still need to design the stand, order the steel, learn to weld, and get that done!

So here is the new monster in my classroom! I wonder if I can teach from inside with a scuba mask and a microphone? Huge thanks goes out to all who have helped to make this a reality. [attachment=64605:name]

When we setting this thing up.

So I am planning a split stand so I can make it as tall as I wanted. I plan to go with two 2 x 6 ft. sections and bolt them together. I was thinking tubular steel for the vertical supports, the base, and cross braces but using angle iron around the top. What I don't know is how thick and what diameter steel. I am thinking 2 in. on the supports, braces and base and the same on the angle iron. How thick should the steel be and is that big enough?

That is a question I am not qualified to answer lol

 

[MuralReef]

I didn't ask how to level it just how big does the steel need to be!

Who needs a stand when you have all of those sweet lab tables? You have some lucky students...

That is awesome! I love the overflow placement - wish mine were angled like that
