Prepping for AM2

A couple weekends ago, Tony helped me get started on increasing my tank space in preparation for AM2 by helping me construct a new stand. A few coats of paint later, and it was ready to go.

Then it was time to start loading it up. I began by relocating my 40b onto the new stand. Followed by my brand new Mr. Aqua 12g long. Lastly, I added a brand new 30b to the bottom. The 12g and 30b both are filtered by Mattenfilters and are powered with powerheads.

I took the stand that previously held my 40b planted tank, relocated it, and bought a new 40b for it. Pics to come soon...
 
That top tank is only 12g? Love diy stands always looking to steal ideas, my house is full of em

Wow That's awesome never saw a tank that size. Just thinking about all the great uses for one of those.

Mr Aqua 12's are a very cool format. Glad to see someone has been productive w/ their pre AM2 time. ;P I was supposed to get a rack built for 6 15's... less expansion, more rearranging... no chance of that happening in time now. I'll be lucky to get 1 or 2 tanks cleaned and running before tomorrow.

Great work!

Thanks for all of the kind remarks. I ran out of PFS filling the 30b, so I still have an empty 40b in need of sand. Going to fill it tonight anyway.

That looks great! I set up another 29 and I'll be getting a 20 long at aquamania for the fish Im getting.

I really can't thank Tony and his father enough for their help. They pretty much built the stand for me. I am looking forward to stocking all of the tanks this weekend.
