Woodworking... MAKING A CABINET FOR A LARGE CAPACITY FISH TANK.

This project created some special challenges. The cabinet will hold an 80 gallon fish tank with all its components. The tank and the items inside would come in at approximately 700 pounds. The vertical strength of a typical 2 x 4 that is 8 feet long is about 1000 pounds. Having this in mind, I tend to over build to ensure that the unit was not compromised in anyway. Part of the challenge was the fact that inside the tank would be components both electronic and a brooding tank for baby fish. The inside portion would also hold filters ,heaters etc. Care had to be taken to ensure proper ventilation for all the extra heat in the system. I hope you enjoyed this project.
