The kid looks photoshopped because the stand is so big! :D

Once of the nicest stands i've ever seen! Build me one!
Lol he kids does but he is real he is 2 and a half still pretty small
He was looking at putting his finger on the air input to the co2 media reactor to make it foam out the top have to get some better baby gates lol

I need you to go into more detail of how you put that scape together. Very well done. your setup is very clean and sharp looking. makes it look easy. very impressive

I just figured I would display the doors bottom part because just as much went into that as the display tank so what I’m going to do is a snake tinted glass I should have them back on Monday I will add some pics when they are completed

Wow, so clean looking! :) I have same dimension tank, a DIY stand and hood, & Triton 44 v1 sump. Next to my sump is a 1/5 hp chiller. Your wire-management is amazing.

You might consider removing the float on your ATK. It doesn't function well when float stays high.

Great build! I am following along. I noticed 2 vent covers at the top, inside of your stand. Is there powered ventilation? If yes, what fans did you use?
