For my most recent custom aquarium cabinet commission, I decided to take pictures throughout the design and building process. The resulting photo album isn't just a great way to keep my clients apprised of their project's progress. It's also a treasure trove of teaching moments for anybody interested in building their own large aquarium cabinet.
If you ever wanted to see how something like this is made, take a peek at this Picasa Photo Album - "120 Mafia" (so named because the aquarium will house African cichlids...a "Mafia Tank"). Many of the pics include captions explaining the picture and what's being shown.
This particular build includes some innovations you won't see in many other cabinets, and information to help you incorporate these innovations into your own designs. I also address some of the common challenges in designing and building cabinets for large aquariums.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI came across you blog and would love to get a quote from you on what something like this would cost. I too am setting up a 120 gallon aquarium and I think something like this would be great for me.
