Well the time has come, after 5 year of owning redsea with 0 problems my new to me G2 tank has started seprating at the top.

Now is the time to start the panic build before the tank let's go!

It's been 2 days now and I have currently got the frame of the stand almost complete.
I will be adding a colume behind the tank that runs up to the cieling and will be building a frame that attaches to the cieling for all the lights to be some what hidden. I then hopefully will drywall the side of the stand to blend in like it it built into the house. I will also be adding a bar around all 3 sides so you can sit and enjoy the tank

All help is greatly appreciated as I have never build a stand before!

Following along! I always love seeing peninsula tanks since me and my wife want to buy one, one day
 
Good luck following along. You will love peninsulas. First time here and couldn’t be happier.
 
I want my future tank to be a peninsula too! Following!

The stand looks awesome and well built.

Are you gonna wrap it in something or leave it bare?

What are the dimensions of the stand and lumber? And tank size.
