Looks awesome!

Careful watering that pathos. . . my wife tried to hang one of ours above my tank and I was afraid tap water (and soil) might fall in during watering. . . but I might be a little paranoid haha!

I love this. Great job on the stand. I just built out the Mr. Aqua version of this tank. I absolutely love the way it feels like a big tank but it’s still a manageable sized nano.

This looks great so far! Do you have the build plans or any additional info on how you built the stand? I have this same tank and have been looking for a decent stand for it that will accommodate a sump without much luck.
