Awesome job on that stand man! I really like how you skinned it so nicely. Those are awesome dimensions for an SPS system. Looking forward to seeing this tank progress! I'll be tagging along

that stand looks great, a router makes everything look professional! You should definitely waterproof the inside for a spill tub and maybe toss some LED strip lighting in there!

Keep up the great work! Excited to see the progress.

That looks great are you going to stain it or paint it. Also are you going to go with any waterproofing on the inside like pond liner or something else?

Thanks Bobby! Inside will have some sort of water protectant finish on it. The stand/cabinet will be stained with a color stain. Still deciding which color to go with. Maybe a light green or a fruit punch color.

Not yet but very soon!! Projected to be complete in May. Im hoping the first week.

Going to go a different path with the stain color than the traditional natural wood color. I think Im going to go with the fruit punch stain for this stand. It gives it a more tropical feel. Plus I can further enhance it with some really cool knobs from World Imports.
