fish tank cabinet
Project Information
this is a cabinet i did about 8 years ago for a coworker to hold his 500lb aquarium, its made of oak with melamine bottom and back, euro hinges and an adjustable shelf. the finish was just clear satin poly.this was a quick 2 day weekend build.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

it was a simple box construction with simple trim and doors. it just needed to be strong. actually if you count the finish it was 3 days !

Very nice, pottz! I used to keep tropical fish when I was younger, and I never had my aquariums on anything that nice.
I’m with Barb—that would be a multi-week project for me.

Nice and clean! Quick 2day weekend build… I don’t think I can even finish the doors within 2days, haha.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

You did a fine job Pottz. And yea that needed to be sturdy, 500 gallons = 4000 pounds just in water + all the accessories.
