Years back I had a 110gal reef tank.
We moved and never got around to re-setting up.
Sold all livestock and tank before the move. Kept some of the equipment.

I just picked up a 29gal nano cube for the kids bedroom.
So I am going to make a stand for it.
Never made a stand before, but have been reading up on wood working

Stand that came with the tank was not very good.
So I took it apart to reuse the wood.
And cleaned it up on the table saw

I made three panels.
Two will be glued and screwed to the sides.
I want the front to be removable.

Not really planning a sump, but left some space in the rear
