New Stand

[Krish]

I have a few days off for the holidays and decided I was going to re-build the stand for my Aquapod. The last one I built was alright, but not entirely how I wanted it (rush job to put the tank on) so I built a similar style stand today.

The stand is not finished yet, but here are the first few shots. I still have to clear it and decide if I will use the door I made or do something a bit different. I can't decide if to use what I have or just do a flat surface mount door. Any comments on the door would be appreciated.

I'll post the finished product when it's all finished

Anytime guys!

Thanks Jorge! I'm hoping the clear coat brightens it up a tad bit more to match the entertainment center, but I think the color may be off a bit again Aw well...Can't find the right stain to match, only if I formica I can find a good match, but since I've started staining, I don't think I'll ever go back to formica again

krish, that is beautiful!! I liked the before and after finish.

 

[Krish]

Thanks Sue! We'll see how good it looks after the clear goes on


BTW, I'm ordering new MH's for the aquapod as well so I can get my corals back in there again seeing they need more intense lighting like I had in my cube and maybe I'll do some DIY inside the tank, but we'll see

 

[Krish]

Well, I just put the clear on it and it looks great!!! Just gotta see how it dries. I'll post pics tomorrow when I can bring it inside

I will be waiting to see those pictures it looks great already.
Does this mean another tank????

 

[Krish]

LOL! Thanks and nope! My Aquapod will go on it. I'm holding off on another tank right now mostly because I can't decide what I want and there's no point in me spending a ton of money on something I will want to change again later so the aquapod stays for now. This is my 4th tank for the year. Can't have a repeat of that in the New Year

Thats a pretty pimp stand Krish.

Now, if it were mine (and I didn't have to try to match it to other wood thing in the room) I would have left it natural with a clear coat. It looks really nice IMO.

ok what the heck pretty pimp means??? i keep hearing it but i thought pimps were the guys getting money from the hookers no??

so how can a stand be a pimp?? or is krish the pimp?
is it a verb? like you pimp, i pimp ... pimping... pimped .

 

[Meche]

:lol: LMAO :lol:

Have you ever seen "pimp my ride"? It's on MTV.

A verb, a noun, and an adjative.

The slang meaning is more along the lines of "super cool" or this guy -->

Thanks Brett! That's how I wanted to leave it to match the wall and I love the light color better, but my wife said no(LOL)

Thanks Jon! It's regular stain. The clear coat I guess seals it

Nice stand krish.... Sorry to highjack your thread but..... i need the work

I live ALOT closer. It would probably cost less than having to ship it from the Bahamas as well. I am a carpenter too if you consider that a bonus.

 

[class clown]

Krish - I like it. The wood grain on it is very distinct and clean. It looks like some choice lumber. Nice job

LOL!! Well, I'm not a carpenter and never took any carpentry classes! Just been messing with power tools for the past 10 years or so

Thanks man!!! I don't know about choice lumber because this place sucks when it comes to good wood, but it was fur (sp) I used
