New 300ltr planted tank.

[Fish are friends]

Decided to upgrade my 240ltr to a 300ltr but didn't have a stand so I bought the materials to make my own. I knew it had to hold 300kg minimum so had to be sturdy. I got to work with 2x4's wood screws and hand tools..
Once done I put the stand and tank into place and got to work scaping it. Plant substrate in bags to build height in the back and then capped it with gravel. Added the wood and then started planting.
Filled the tank moved the heater and filter over from the old tank and then I moved the fish. Really pleased with the result. Just need to let it's all grow in now.

Looks amazing you can see how it’s going to fill in too.

Great job on building the stand too! Very impressive work.

Did you sit that tank down on some high-density polystyrene? It will take the unevenness out of the stand.

It’s on 12mm plywood. the stand is even. OCD wouldn’t let me have surfaces that were uneven.
