I got bored, so I decided to do something productive. I had a 20gal tank laying unused. It's one of the two little tanks I picked up laying outside a house since they didnt want them anymore
I took out the black frame of it a while ago to give it a cleaner look, but I set it aside since I got busy working on my 40gal Vert.
This project won't be as complex as my 40gal. I won't even have misters in there. I'll be hand spraying it since it's going into my bedroom. Im not planning on drilling an drains on it either. I'll just suck the water out of the false bottom with a turkey baster or something.
So here's what I got so far today.
I measured and cut pieces of some leftover Polycarbonate to build the euro vent.
I didnt have enough poly carbonate so I decided to just put 3 columns in the front to support the aluminum L shape piece going on top of it. I put that L metal piece on there to support the middle column.
There's all three columns siliconed
Time to drill some holes on the piece that going on the top of the Viv to lock in the glass door
drilled
took a scrap piece and...
cut it in half
drill some holes on them
screw them in
BAM! done (I will be siliconing this on the top later after the main vent is done curing)
cut up some Aluminum L-shapes to build the frame on the euro vent
Cut some screen + silicone = done
Whew! whole vent done. Now time to sit and wait
well that's what I got so far. I'll be posting more pics of the progress later on.
