stand for my upcoming 45 cube
i just wanted some opinions on how this stand looks. will it hold the tank is the most important? tank will be a 24x24x18 cube. 45 gallons. this is only the frame but im working slowly as i dont have the tank yet. have to sell my 90 gallon first.
frame is all 2x3. top and bottom frames are pocket screwed to the virtical supports. i have a 29 gal sump and ato in the stand. all three sides will have doors so everything is accesable and removeable
this is a front shot

looks good - i wish i had built in a little electrical access panel like that in mine
i would probably add another 2x4 across the middle to keep the top plywood from bowing, but it may not be neccessary
i have my stand build on the first page of my thread if you would like to check it out
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
