My custom made viv

Got the second one built and almost done. One thing I changed this time was removing the "stops" from the drawer slides that hold them closed so they're way easier to start pulling out. Also since I don't need to mount handles I was able to use some nicer molding on the front.

Wanted something nicer looking and more out of the way than my current setup sitting on my kitchen counter, so here's what I came up. I already had the bookshelf and built the rest, which is just a plexi box sitting on some drawer slides and wood trim. It works out kinda nice because the drawer slides create room for a UTH, along with the middle slide mounted slightly off center. When it's closed there's slightly less than an 1/8" gap between the top of the plexi and the bookshelf. The viv itself is 27" by 14" and 12" or so tall, comes out to just under 20 gallons, so it'll work for awhile. Total was about $100 with the plexi being half the cost. Also by the way the color difference between the real wood trim and fake Ikea bookshelf wood isn't nearly as bad in person.
