. . . da Artsy-Cylinder Aquarium Stand

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago

The Top Box will receive all electrical from the tank by a hole in the back of the box. A black ABS elbow and pipe will seamlessly join the bulkhead from the sump to the Top Box. A 6” hole on the bottom of the Top Box will permit electrical wires to pass into the Center Half Cylinder. The Center Half Cylinder will be an 8” metal pipe halfed longitudinally. It will be aprox 24” long. It will be welded to the Top and Bottom Boxes. Several metal shelves will be welded into the Half Cylinder. The back of each shelf will have a 2” semi-circle cut into the shelf. This permits electrical wiring to run through the cylinder and keeps everything nice a tidy. The Rolling Half Cylinder Door (this is the magical artsy piece!!!) will be a 10” metal pipe halfed longitudinally. It will be aprox 24” long. It will be welded to a bearing at the Top and Bottom Box. This bearing is a 12” bearing plate that can be welded to two surfaces, the Box and the Rolling Door. The bearing is shaped like a ring and fits around the 8” fixed Center Half Cylinder. This bearing is frequently used for building swivel TV stands and a Lazy Susan. So if you can image these devices, this is the bearing I will use. The Rolling Door will be able to roll 360 degrees unobstructed. This is the reason why the Top and Bottom Boxes are necessary. These keep all wiring inside the stand so that the Rolling Door can spin freely.
