terryansimon Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Initial look of my cabinet used to house a painting with a light house. Now gave way for my new marine tank. you sure the center portion can "tahan" the weight of a fully loaded tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dersuz Posted November 3, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 3, 2003 Cutting off the main board off the cabinet. A very precise work inorder not to demage the left and right sides of the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dersuz Posted November 3, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 3, 2003 More work to be done on the cabinet. Took them 2 days to cut and reinforce the support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dersuz Posted November 3, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 3, 2003 The base support for the tank with thick and solid wood recommended by the carpenter to balance all the weight to hold 1000kg. The look of the construction do worry me, but the work is not done yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dersuz Posted November 3, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 3, 2003 New L4.5' x W2' xH2' tank added. 4 solid base supports with 2 horizontal bar were added below the cabinet to hold the weight (not shown in the pic). Was told to be able to support the weight, after some discussion with their boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryansimon Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 hmm. okay if you say so. but best if ask him to re-enforce somemore. and eh. your tank wouldn't have a sump? I don't forsee the possibility of you putting one in unless you drill some holes into the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
