DIY 90 Stand (55 sump, 15 cube)

I have started the upgrade process to upgrade my 55 to a 90 with internal overflow.

The plan is to use the 55 as a sump, convert my custom (DIY) 15 gallon refuge into a 15 Gallon Cube that will house 2 percs a RBTA and maybe a clam or 2.

Here is the stand, as of Monday, the frame is built and the Plywood top and bottom are fitted. The plan calls for the stand inside to be painted with 2 coats of Kiltx2 Promer/sealer, and then 2 coats of High Gloss White exterior paint.

Hee s my son helping withthe clamps as we start to add the stands skin.



The skin is made of 1/2" pine boards.

Here is is all skinned and waiting for trim.

One final look at the trim.
