I would like to share my DIY stand and canopy that my
Husband made. Finally finished this week! I am i. Love

My tank is four months old. And I think I am done stocking for a little while

I’ve done a few DIY stands, the thing with wood is ya gotta do the wipe down thing weekly or its hard to keep salt/salt creep from getting “embedded” … esp underneath the stand….its surprising how the stand can get salt coated just from the air/spray …

May I ask what did you use for your final protective coat ?
