I wanted my background to be removable, so since that meant i wouldn't be siliconing it to the tank i made a couple rocks that i attached to the bottom to support the background from falling forward. Tanks pretty much done just need to get my hinge and will be all set

found a piece of driftwood in my old aquarium stuff




for the time being my stand is an old speaker that i took apart and cut out the front of it to be able to stick my bucket under for the drain. The speaker cover goes back over it to cover it all up.

well my order from josh's frogs came today so i was able to assemble the front of the enclosure. Finishing up the stand tomorrow and drilling the misthead nozzle hole as long with a hole to run my Temp/Hum sensor prob in and we should be up and running!



picture of how i attached the hasp and lock



for now i am holding me screen in place with electrical tape because if i want to get my background out for any reason the screen has to be removed to be able to get it out so i didn't want to silicone it in

wrapped the stand today with some plywood





Also applied a couple coats of primer, so tomorrow i'll be attaching the molding around the edges to make it look nice and then hopefully putting on the black paint
