Thank you very much. I found the stand at the Home store. Then I just beefed it up with some painted plywood to line the interior compartments with and back. It's very sturdy for a 30g.@Hammerheadz I adore your tank and have similar goals as you. My favorite part is the over-sized stand the tank sits on, and how that allowed more space to accommodate an electronics board. Would you mind sharing where you got that stand? I'd really like to order the same one.
