    Default Building a stand

    Hi Guys

    Ok i have seen a tank which i am debating about its 5ft (thats if its still for sale) but it doesnt come with a stand but since i am seriously poop at DIY whats the best advice you can give me please i want it to look the part so considering covering it with black acrylic

    Also my tank now is where the new tank would go so i would have to move my cube to place the new tank there so what could i do with my animals due to me needing to fill the new tank, cycling it finding new lights then selling my cube....................... what do i do for best lol the stress god our lass will be happy

    thanks

    Andy

    my stand is 3ft, step by step pics are here http://www.reefcentral.co.uk/showthr...2774-new-stand

    Hi Andy its a case of taking it slow when changing tanks over and make sure you have plenty of salt water made up to fill up the extra water plus some one who can help that knows what there doing. I will be coming over to see Chris on Saturday the 19th Feb. Twiggy
