Metal rack to Cabinet look

[ongorg]

my attempt to do a wrap around for my 3ft tank metal rack.

material: blockwood, solid wood planks, formica, glue, hinge...

my modified sump....

Is your rack made from stainless materials? Saltwater corrodes metal. Enclosing it delays evaporation and enhances corrosion even more. The rack giving way is a disaster.

Hi Bro,

It was treated with special anti rust coat and also painting. So it should able to withstand the use till my future upgrade...haha

I used to have WI stands for my tanks, no problem.

What I did was to spray 2 coats of anti rust followed by 2 coats of black paint. Be sure to check with a torchlight that all parts of the anti rust paint is covered by the black paint, as it is hard to tell the dark brown and black paints without using a torchlight.
