Where to Buy Custom Facade and Canopy???

[JoshHill83]

Does anyone build custom facades and canopies or know where I can get one? I just bought the 400 gallon tank from Stone Aquatics and it comes with a metal stand, but I want it to have that finished look. Any suggestions are appreciated.

What did they do with the livestock? I wanted the choati leopard wrasse and the lineatus they had but haven't been in for a while so they might be gone. Why'd they sell it

They said they wanted to put something else there, but I don't know what. They aren't delivering it for another week or two and it is still up and running. But I'm pumped that they are delivering it...

Cool tank. Good luck

That tank got me the keys to the money vault in my family. My hubby loved that tank - great way to show what "finished" looks like and make the cycle more bearable

Glad to see that tank back in the hands of a member. I love that choati too! I remember when they got it when the tank was at Fluid.

What I'm going to do on my build is attach strong magnets to wood doors and finish that way. Like AAs display tank

I'd have the stand powder coated, looks real nice after.

Wow, cool tank! I like the idea of removable doors using magnets.

I like this! I may do 3 panels on the front and then two on the side. This would be fairly easy, cost effective and could look really nice. I won't need to get under the tank vey often, and I think I could do this myself. I've been looking at materials and would probably just get some high grade 3/4" birch plywood, some nice accent trim and neodymium magnets that are countersunk for easy install and then just paint it black. Thanks for the great idea.

You can get neodymium magnets that are for counter sinking from magnet4less.com. The site even gives an approximate weight it will hold.
