New planted tank with custom cabinet

[Blaze]

Hay guys,

as most of you would know, I change my tank around a fair bit but this time i've gone all out and designed a cabinet for a brand new tank for Sunny. The weather in QLD, Australia is ridiculous in summer and everyone knows cold water + humidty = condensation. As you can imagine condensation and tank stands do not mix! so I have designed a cabinet that has a rubber "bath" around it with a drain so that any condensation can go straight down into a bucket under the cabinet and won't harm my cabinet.

I also would like to let everyone know that planted tanks are absolutly possible in Axolotl tanks. Sunnys tank sits at 16degrees all year round and I have a lovely flourishing bunch of plants in there. At the moment i'm a bit short on time so I will post some photos a bit later

Good idea with the drain system you've set up. Even if it took you a fair bit of time (I don't know if it did or didn't!) I bet it'll save you a lot of pennies with not having to buy a new cabinet any time soon!

Tank looks good too! I do love your avatar of Sunny!

I've grown up building things from scratch with my parents from a young age so I just worked out all the measurements and design and did it all in about 2 hours. It definetly will save me alot in the long run

Sunny is a character! haha, he loooooves the camera and is always posing hehe.
